Cerf, V. G., & Kahn, R. E. (1974). A Protocol for Packet Network Intercommunication. IEEE Transactions on Communications,
22(5) 637–648.

Cerf and Kahn’s proposal describes a transmission control program (TCP) for sharing data between computers connected via an “internetwork”.

The protocol was later developed into a modular architecture called TCP/IP. The term “internetwork” is better known today by its shorthand: “internet”.
