Abstract
Following a brief overview of his background, Cerf describes his involvement with the ARPA network, including his work for the Network Measurement Center while a graduate student at UCLA, and his relationships with Bolt Beranek and Newman, Robert Kahn, Lawrence Roberts, and the Network Working Group. Other topics include: various influences on the development of the TCP/IP protocol, IPTO funding while he was at Stanford University, his decision in 1976 to become a program manager for networking projects at IPTO, and the military use of IPTO networking projects. This interview was recorded as part of a research project on the influence of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) on the development of computer science in the United States.
