He was a graduate student at UCLA. BBN set up the infrastructure of the ARPANET and got the Interface Message Processors (routers) and the 56-Kbps links up and running. To use the ARPANET, universities had to write software for the devices that connected to the ARPANET. TCP/IP grew out of that effort.
