[ih] Significant milestones in the history of TCP/IP

[Alex McKenzie]

Dave,
See my article published in the IEEE Annals of the History of Computing,  Vol 33, No 1, pp 66-71, titled "INWG and the Conception of the Internet".  A very slightly corrected version is available online at

the history of Internet technologies is best viewed as a continuum, IMO.

that said, for the current exercise, i'm interested in limiting the
scope to the history of major tcp/ip milestones.

by way of marking a starting point for discussion, the anecdotal summary
i heard a long time ago was that first discussions on internetworking
were held during the arpanet public demonstration, at the first iccc in
1972.

i'm not inclined to count that as a 'milestone' but would think that
circulation of the first tcp design would count as the beginning marker
for this timeline.

but that's just my own perspective, and as i said, this is intended to
be a community (rough consensus) effort.
