From UCLA, Cerf moved to Stanford University's Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department as assistant professor. He taught classes in operating systems, algorithms & data structures as well as networking. During his tenure at the university, 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.icann.org/en/news/correspondence/cerf-testimony-08feb01-en.htm#Vita Vinton Cerf Curriculum Vitae]</ref> <ref>[http://www.livinginternet.com/i/ii_cerf.htmVinton Cerf -- TCP/IP Co-Designer]</ref> He also volunteered to serve as Chairman of the International Network Working Group ([[INWG]]) modeled from the ARPANET's Network Working Group.

===Career at DARPA:1976-1982===

===Role at DARPA (1976-1982)===

In 1976, Cerf  accepted the job offer at DARPA to serve as program manager and later became a principak scientist of the agency. At DARPA, he continued working with Khan on networking and TCP/IP protocols. They demonstrated how the internet works through the ARPANET, Packet Radio net and SATNET. They sent messages from a van in the bay area across the United States on ARPANET to the University College of London and back via satellite to Virginia through the ARPANET located at the  University of Southern California’s Information Sciences Institute to prove the viability of the TCP/IP protocol to connect networks worldwide. In 1983, the TCP/IP protocol became the standard protocol for the ARPANET, which became the internet. During his tenure at the agency from 1976 to 1982, Cerf indeed played a key role leading the development of the internet including internet related data packet and security technologies. <ref>[http://www.computerhistory.org/internet_history/internet_history_70s.html Computer History Museum]</ref> <ref>[http://web.mit.edu/invent/iow/cerf.htm Vinton Cerf TCP/IP Protocol]</ref>
