[ih] Fwd: Fw: Internet: 57 years later, what does Professor Kleinrock think of the his creation?

[Steve Crocker]

Kleinrock contributed quite a bit.  Many others contributed as well.
Taylor, Roberts and Wesler in ARPA/IPTO were crucial, as was Lukasik's
support.  Frank Heart's team at BBN did a masterful job designing, building
and delivering the IMPs.  Lick in multiple ways, from early concept to
marshalling resources and support at MIT during the early development and
deployment.  Engelbart's team at SRI, of course.  And quite a few others.
