It is difficult to comprehend how many billions of people use Vint Cerf's protocol every day and yet have no idea how it happened.
The Internet we know today uses the host-to-host Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) as a fundamental part of its structure. In 1974, Bob Kahn and Vint Cerf proposed TCP as a method of providing internetworking. It is one of the main building blocks of the TCP/IP protocol that powers all of our internet use today.
It seems only fitting that we say Happy Birthday!
