Well, they said success has many fathers for a reason. Very strange that the the list of the Internet pioneers from the Wikipedia that you've posted does not include Robert Metcalf but the article does mentioned him, but seriously why he is not in the Top 10 is beyond me! Robert is the original inventor of Ethernet he also also founded a highly successful 3Com company providing Internet infrastructure in the early days of the Internet [1],[2]. Based on the OP article we should have the original picture of the back of the envelope drawing by Cerf but nothing to be seen because according to him he threw it away. Robert, however have drawing picture of the Ethernet's original design in its glorified envelope with infamous vampire clamps/taps on it [3],[4].
