to encourage the next generation of technology pioneers to deliver the ideas
and inventions that will continue to drive our industry forward. Vinton Cerf
and Robert Kahn share a number of awards, including the 1997 National Medal of
Technology from President Bill Clinton. Since its inception, the Turing

Team Developed Architecture for Computers to Communicate

NEW YORK, ACM, the Association for Computing
Machinery, has named Vinton G. Kahn the winners of the 2004
A. As a fellow DARPA alumnus, I am especially
pleased to congratulate this year's winners, who are outstanding role models,
mentors and research collaborators to myself and many others within the
network research community.
In May 1974, they published a paper describing a new method of
communication called transmission-control protocol (TCP) to route messages or
packets of data.

Making Networked Computers Communicate
In 1973, Cerf joined Kahn in a Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency
(ARPA, now called DARPA) project to link three independent networks into an
integrated "network of networks.
This networking arrangement allowed for a three-way "handshake" that
introduced distant and different computers to each other and confirmed their
readiness to communicate in a virtual space.

This computer networking protocol, widely used
in information technology for a variety of applications, allows networks to be
joined into a network of networks now known as the Internet. "Their work has enabled the
many rapid and accessible applications on the Internet that we rely on today,
including email , the World Wide Web, Instant Messaging, Peer-to-Peer
transfers, and a wide range of collaboration and conferencing tools. This
meant designating host computers on a global Internet, for which they
introduced the notion of an Internet Protocol (IP) address.

Like an envelope containing a letter , TCP broke serial
streams of information into pieces, enclosed these pieces in envelopes called
"datagrams" marked with standardized "to and from" addresses, and passed them
through the underlying network to deliver them to host computers.

In 1978, Cerf and several
colleagues split the original protocol into two parts, with TCP responsible
for controlling and tracking the flow of data packets ("letters"), and the
Internet Protocol (IP) responsible for addressing and forwarding individual
packets ("envelopes").M. Turing Award was named for Alan M.
