Dr. Crocker has been involved in the Internet since its inception. In the late 1960's and early 1970's, while he was a graduate student at UCLA, he was part of the team that developed the protocols for the [[Arpanet]] and laid the foundation for today's Internet. He organized the [[Network Working Group]], which was the forerunner of the modern [[Internet Engineering Task Force]] and initiated the Request for Comment (RFC) series of notes through which protocol designs are documented and shared. He remained active in the Internet standards work through the [[IETF]] and [[IAB]]. For this work, Dr. Crocker was awarded the 2002 [[IEEE]] Internet Award.
