"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." They sought to develop an open-architecture
network model for heterogeneous networks to communicate with each other
independent of individual hardware and software configuration, with sufficient
flexibility and end-to-end reliability to overcome transmission failures and
disparity among the participating networks.org/awards/taward.

"The Turing Award is widely acknowledged as our industry's highest
recognition of the scientists and engineers whose innovations have fueled the
digital revolution," said Intel 's David Tennenhouse, Vice President in the
Corporate Technology Group and Director of Research. 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.

Turing, carries a $100,000 prize, with financial support
provided by Intel Corporation. Cerf and Kahn developed TCP/IP, a format and
procedure for transmitting data that enables computers in diverse environments
to communicate with each other. 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.org

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 . Vinton Cerf
and Robert Kahn share a number of awards, including the 1997 National Medal of
Technology from President Bill Clinton.

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").

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. This
meant designating host computers on a global Internet , for which they
introduced the notion of an Internet Protocol (IP) address. Kahn is Chairman, CEO and President of the
