This is the teaser for a special segment that celebrates the 50 years of the “TCP paper.”
Some context: In May 1974, the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) Transactions on Communications scientific journal published “A Protocol for Packet Network Intercommunication.” Authored by Vint Cerf and Bob Kahn, that was the paper that described the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) that supported the interconnection of multiple packet-switched networks into a network of networks. Split later into TCP and an Internet Protocol (IP), TCP and IP became core components of the Internet that DARPA launched operationally in 1983. The rest, as they say, is history.
