# 4a3dc316_key_figures_ARPANET
|
|
|
|
- [Paul Baran](385af4b4_Baran_distributed_networks.md) for his work at RAND on
|
|
distributed networks as an alternative to the extant
|
|
centralised/de-centralised phone networks.
|
|
|
|
- Donald Davies at the UK Physical Laboratory for developing ideas on
|
|
#packet-switching, similar to but derived independently of Baran's work.
|
|
|
|
- Bob Kahn as the principle designer of the ARPANET, who with Vint Cerf, wrote
|
|
the TCP/IP protocols. Became director of the Information Processing Techniques
|
|
Office within ARPA/DARPA.
|
|
|
|
- Vint Cerf was head of the International Networking Group and worked on the
|
|
Network Control Protocol (the first protocol for packet switching using the
|
|
IMPs). Later joined up with Kahn on TCP/IP and the network of packet-switching
|
|
networks (early internet).
