IEEE Internet Award is a Technical Field Award established by the IEEE in June 1999. The award is sponsored by Nokia Corporation. It may be presented annually to an individual or up to three recipients, for exceptional contributions to the advancement of Internet technology for network architecture, mobility and/or end-use applications. Awardees receive a bronze medal, certificate, and honorarium.

Recipients

The following people have received the award:

Notes

  1. Packet switching was invented independently by Paul Baran and Donald Davies in the early and mid 1960s, respectively. Neither Leonard Kleinrock nor Larry Roberts were involved until the implementation of the ARPANET in the late 1960s (see also: Packet switching § The "paternity dispute").
  2. Datagrams were conceived and first implemented by Donald Davies in the single-node NPL network; Davies also did simulation studies on wide-area networks. Louis Pouzin directed the implementation of the datagram model in a wide-area network, CYCLADES, which was the first network to make reliability the responsibility of the hosts, not the network (whereas the ARPANET used a virtual circuit service).

Experiments were then carried out using a method of flow control devised by Davies called 'isarithmic' flow control. ... The simulation work carried out at NPL has, in many respects, been more realistic than most of the ARPA network theoretical studies."
