Bob Kahn (born 1938) is an American electrical engineer who, along with Vint Cerf, first proposed the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and the Internet Protocol (IP), the fundamental communication protocols at the heart of the Internet.. In 2004, Kahn won the Turing Award with Vint Cerf for their work on TCP/IP.
Robert Kahn (born December 23, 1938, Brooklyn, New York, U.S.) is an American electrical engineer, one of the principal architects, with Vinton Cerf, of the Internet.In 2004 both Kahn and Cerf won the A.M. Turing Award, the highest honour in computer science, for their “pioneering work on internetworking, including the design and implementation of the Internet’s basic communications protocols, TCP/IP, and for inspired leadership in networking.”. After receiving an engineering degree ...
In 1972, Kahn took the lead in organizing the first public demonstration of the ARPANET at the October International Computer Communication Conference in Washington, D.C. Prior to that demonstration the ARPANET had been an interesting but underused experimental system but, with Kahn’s encouragement, people at the various sites began to bring new applications online, making the network more attractive to users.
Apr 20, 2024 · In the mid-1960s, Robert Kahn began thinking about how computers with different operating systems could talk to each other across a network. He didn’t think much about what they would say to one ...
Robert E. Kahn is Chairman, CEO and President of the Corporation for National Research Initiatives (CNRI), which he founded in 1986 after a thirteen year term at the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). CNRI was created as a not-for-profit organization to provide leadership and funding for research and development of the National Information Infrastructure.

Robert Kahn. Few individuals contributed more to the early history of computer communications than did Robert (Bob) Kahn. While earning his M.A. and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering from Princeton University in 1962 and 1964, respectively, Kahn worked as a member of the technical staff at Bell Telephone Laboratories (Bell Labs).
With the ARPANET’s packet switching technique, developed by Franklin Institute Laureate Paul Baran, a message is broken up into smaller parts (packets), each sent independently and then reassembled into a complete message at the destination.
Robert Kahn is the co-inventor of the TCP/IP protocols and was responsible for originating DARPA’s Internet program. Known as one of the “Fathers of the Internet,” Kahn demonstrated the ARPANET by connecting 20 different computers at the International Computer Communication Conference.
Robert Kahn was born in New York, New York, in 1938. He holds a BEE from the City College of New York (1960), and MA and PhD degrees from Princeton (1962, 1964).
