ahem: Pouzin [1][3][4]. Cerf: Incidentally, just for the record, the sliding window flow control for TCP came straight out of discussions with Louie Pouzin [ph?] and his people at INRIA. So, in fact, Gerard Le Lann [ph?], who was part of Louis Pouzin’s lab, came to Stanford University in 1974 and participated in a lot of the design work, and I remember Bob Metcalfe and Le Lann and I sortof lying down of the living room in my house in Palo Alto on this giant piece of paper, trying to sketch what the state diagrams were for these protocols. Nielson: Louis Pouzin arises all over the place? Cerf: Absolutely.
