Dr. Kahn first met Dr. Cerf at UCLA in 1969, after the [[ARPAnet]] nodes had been nationally distributed. At that time, he was working at an engineering firm in Cambridge, Mass., and travelled to UCLA to experiment with the new network. While at Bolt Beranek and Newman in Cambridge, Mr. Kahn helped build the [[Interface Message Processor]].<ref>[http://www.livinginternet.com/i/ii_kahn.htm LivingInternet.com]</ref>
