There's an angle on all of this which I always thought was pretty interesting (Considering they only managed to update a consolidated TCP RFC in the past week especially):
"At one of the quarterly meetings Vint Cerf came in and dropped a bombshell on us: he said TCP had become a standard. Our immediate reaction, or at least my reaction, was 'Wait: it's not done yet. We have this long list of things we still have to figure out'," Haverty recalled in his speech.
The technology was out of developers' hands before they felt ready to let it go.
Haverty said the teams he worked with always expected to fix and polish their work – not just build on top of what he referred to as an "experiment."
"There's all sorts of operational issues that we went through and developed but they haven't made it into the real world,” he said. [1]
