===Early Career===

After receiving his degree in Mathematics at Stanford University in 1965, Vint joined [[IBM]] as systems engineer on the QUIKTRAN time-sharing system project. In 1966, he started providing computer communications consultancy services for different companies and organizations including the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency ([[DARPA]]), Defense Information Systems Agency ([[DISA]]), [[MCI]] Communications Corp., National Security Agency, [[IEEE]] etc. He left IBM in 1967 and joined the University of California-Los Angeles (UCLA) Computer Science Department as principal programmer. Vint managed several projects at UCLA such as the [[ARPANET]] Network Measurement Center, a video graphics project involving computer-controlled 16 mm camera. He also participated in the development of the ARPANET host protocol specifications. He left UCLA in 1972 and joined the Stanford University's Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department as assistant professor teaching classes in operating systems, algorithms & data structures as well as networking.<ref>[http://www.icann.org/en/news/correspondence/cerf-testimony-08feb01-en.htm#Vita Vinton Cerf Curriculum Vitae]</ref> In 1972, Vint was also appointed as Chairman of the International Network Working Group ([[INWG]]. Its main objective is to develop common technical standards that would allow any computer to connect to the ARPANET. While teaching at Stanford, he also conducted research on packet network interconnection protocols and joined [[Robert Kahn]] as principal investigator and co-designer of the next generation networking protocol project for the ARPANET. In 1973, they distributed the draft of the paper entitled: "A Protocol for Packet Network Intercommunication" during the INWG special meeting at Sussex University in 1973 and eventually published the final research IEEE Transactions of Communications Technology 1974. Cerf and Kahn successfully designed the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol ([[TCP/IP]]).<ref>[http://www.livinginternet.com/i/ii_cerf.htmVinton Cerf -- TCP/IP Co-Designer]</ref> Vint ended his teaching career at Stanford in 1976.
