What the net did next

No matter how long you have been using the net, it is a fair bet that Vint
Cerf has been using it longer. Not least because Dr Cerf has been involved
with the net since its earliest days, in fact, even before it existed. He
has been called "the father of the internet", although he says that is a
title he is unhappy with. But if he is not the father he may well be the
midwife because he was present at its birth. Dr Cerf helped design the net's
basic protocols that ensure that all those packets of data reach their
intended destination. With Bob Kahn, Dr Cerf wrote the blueprint for the
formidably named "Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol" (TCP/IP)
that defines the format of net data packets and how they get to their
destination. TCP/IP was key to turning the Arpanet into the internet.
