Hi Jason,
What standards body ratified TCP/IP? ;-)
Hmmm, getting even more off track here, but as far as I know TCP/IP is
not a standard (other than a de facto standard, which it certainly is).
It's defined by RFCs and not a standard. So it's ratified by no
standards body since it's not a standard.
The wikipedia article on TCP/IP (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tcp/ip) says:
"In March 1982, the US Department of Defense declared TCP/IP as the
standard for all military computer networking."
Which is in its power, since it only concerns itself. But outside the US
military, it's just a de facto standard. They even clearly state that it
doesn't follow the standard OSI model (which is itself ratified by ISO
and ITU-T). At least that's my understanding of it, but once again I'm
playing on semantics and only responded because you asked... ;-)
J-S
