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

[Brian E Carpenter]

Vint, how do you rate Pouzin's catenet paper (published versions are dated
1974) in that part of the story? I was a very remote observer at that time.

(That was during my first spell in NZ and we were trying to make some early sort
of X.25 work between Wellington and Palmerston North, having decided that the
ARPANET protocol was not a realistic option. We picked  X.25 because it was just
then emerging - the original plan was to copy EPSS, the British experiment that
definitely grew out of Davies' work. The NZ Post Office wanted us to copy
whatever the British did, because that's what they did for all telecom in those
days.)

Regards
   Brian
