<div>You are undoubtedly correct. After all, you are the lead
author of it.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>BTW, could you tell me the difference between INWG 96 and INWG
96.1?</div>

I was all set to buy "screw threads" - until I read the
Wikipedia article on<br>

Re. Transport, Session, Network layer: how can you say that with a
straight face, after all the recent discussion here? (I don't
see an ISO number stamped on TCP/IP.)<br>

TP4 was INWG 96 which was CYCLADES TS which had been operational since
1972.<br>
<br>
Network: X.25 was an ISO standard that had been in use since
1976.<br>
<br>
Session: Was lifted (for better or worse, mostly worse) from
SGVIII Videotex standards that were built and operating in France.<br>
<br>
No there is no ISO number stamped on TCP. That decision was
worked out in an open process in IFIP WG6.1 prior to start of OSI,
which chose a modified CYCLADES TS.<br>
<br>
As long as we are on the topic, all of the IEEE 802 standards are also
ISO standards. Ethernet was in use for close to 10 years before
it was an ISO standard.</blockquote>
