Did you know

ISIers, including Jon Postel, were heavily involved in creating the specification documents of the Internet that make global networking possible: TCP/IP. Postel was so involved, in fact, that the final TCP/IP documents published in 1981 were “prepared for DARPA by ISI” with Postel listed as the Editor.
