[ih] Separation of TCP and IP

[vinton cerf]

the PUP guys did drop some operational hints - some we agreed with and some

The IP split came around 1977 and was largely driven by Danny Cohen, Jon
Postel, David Reed.
This change came not long after I arrived at ARPA in Fall 1976.
The referenced "meetings" were my networking seminar at Stanford.
