By
now different national networks were being developed world-wide,
and the problem of how these networks would communicate
was solved by Vint Cerf and Bob Kahn who published a paper
on the transmission-control
protocol (TCP), which later became separated into
two protocols, TCP/IP
(internet protocol). This new protocol was adopted by
ARPANET in 1983. In the same year, the domain
name system was proposed, and in 1986 it was agreed
-‘dot.com’ was born.
