There were several more INWG meetings over the next several years. INWG developed a host-to-host protocol designed to work across a concatenated set of packet networks, each potentially based on different technologies. The first TCP paper by Cerf and Kahn was presented at an INWG meeting and credited earlier INWG work as its basis (a credit Bob Kahn now repudiates as "just boilerplate").
