IEEE Internet Award is a Technical Field Award established by the IEEE in June 1999.[1] The award is sponsored by Nokia Corporation. It may be presented annually to an individual or up to three recipients, for exceptional contributions to the advancement of Internet technology for network architecture, mobility and/or end-use applications. Awardees receive a bronze medal, certificate, and honorarium.

Notes
[edit]- ^ Packet switching was invented independently by Paul Baran and Donald Davies in the early and mid 1960s, respectively. Neither Leonard Kleinrock nor Larry Roberts were involved until the implementation of the ARPANET in the late 1960s (see also: Packet switching § The "paternity dispute").[3][4][5][6][7]
- ^ Datagrams were conceived and first implemented by Donald Davies in the single-node NPL network; Davies also did simulation studies on wide-area networks. Louis Pouzin directed the implementation of the datagram model in a wide-area network, CYCLADES, which was the first network to make reliability the responsibility of the hosts, not the network (whereas the ARPANET used a virtual circuit service). Pouzin's approach pioneered the techniques needed to enable internetworking.[8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [15] [16]

The NPL group influenced a number of American computer scientists in favor of the new technique, and they adopted Davies's term "packet switching" to refer to this type of network. Roberts also adopted some specific aspects of the NPL design.

"As well as the packet switched network actually built at NPL for communication between their local computing facilities, some simulation experiments have been performed on larger networks. A summary of this work is reported in [69]. The work was carried out to investigate networks of a size capable of providing data communications facilities to most of the U.K. ... Experiments were then carried out using a method of flow control devised by Davies [70] called 'isarithmic' flow control. ... The simulation work carried out at NPL has, in many respects, been more realistic than most of the ARPA network theoretical studies."

The first packet-switching network was implemented at the National Physical Laboratories in the United Kingdom. It was quickly followed by the ARPANET in 1969.

Two significant packet networks preceded the TCP/IP Internet: ARPANET and CYCLADES. The designers of the Internet borrowed heavily from these systems, especially CYCLADES ... The first end-to-end research network was CYCLADES, designed by Louis Pouzin at IRIA in France with the support of BBN's Dave Walden and Alex McKenzie and deployed beginning in 1972.

Arpanet had its deficiencies, however, for it was neither a true datagram network nor did it provide end-to-end error correction.

In fact, CYCLADES, unlike ARPANET, had been explicitly designed to facilitate internetworking; it could, for instance, handle varying formats and varying levels of service

The original ARPANET design had made data integrity part of the IMP's store-and-forward role, but Cyclades end-to-end protocol greatly simplified the packet switching operations of the network. ... The idea was to adopt several principles from Cyclades and invert the ARPANET model to minimise international differences.

In the early 1970s Mr Pouzin created an innovative data network that linked locations in France, Italy and Britain. Its simplicity and efficiency pointed the way to a network that could connect not just dozens of machines, but millions of them. It captured the imagination of Dr Cerf and Dr Kahn, who included aspects of its design in the protocols that now power the internet.
