My understanding is Vint Cerf, was the creator of the TCP/IP protocols. Not sure but was he not commissioned by DOD/BBN during the ARPAnet days..
-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Steven A. Ridder Sent: Wednesday, March 27, 2002 2:05 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: TCP/IP and DOD [7:39657] I am a technical reviewer for a book, and someone wrote that TCP/IP was written by the Depertment of Defense. I am confident that ARPAnet was commissiond by the DoD in the 60's to BBN, and maybe TCP/IP was derived from these early protocls, but to say the the DoD, or BBN or anyone other than the Internet community wrote TCP and IP would be incorrect, right? I seem to remember that IP was used in ArpaNet, but not TCP. I thought TCP was written in various universities. I could even look up the couple (who used to work at Cisco) who wrote it. -- RFC 1149 Compliant.
