[ih] INWG Notes

[Alejandro Acosta]

Hello,

   I just took sometime and read a little of few documents (thanks for 
sharing!)..., I just can say that I'm in shock. This is something I've 
felt many times but I have never had the courage to say it. I really 
enjoy reading old documents, sometimes I read old RFCs and the way you 
conceived the problems in that moment and you were able to solve them, 
just amazing.

    This documents almost describes TCP (sorry, I have not read the full 
document, just quick), dated October 28 1974:

    In this one you mentioned half & full duplex (dated September 1974):

(   (name: INWG P 3.pdf)


    For me it is unbelievable to see what most of you though 30-40-50 
years ago and now you have make it real. It's like being in the DeLorean 
in Back to the Future.


Regards,

P.S. I'm 45.

In about a year the group was given a home in the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) as Working Group 6.1 - Computer Communication.  In around 1996 I gave my collection of INWG papers (1972-79) to the Charles Babbage Institute for preservation and public access.  Earlier this year Vint Cerf sponsored the digitization of these documents, and announced their availability to this list. However, in my view they were not very well organized, and I have undertaken to organize them in a way which I believe will make finding individual papers much easier.  Those reorganized documents can be found at
