What is recorded here?
Reconstructed the prioritized goals and engineering choices behind the DARPA Internet architecture, including survivability, service diversity, distributed management and the fate-sharing approach to state.
Source-linked catalogue note. A detailed explanatory guide has not yet been prepared for this entry.
Scientific scope
The record is Clark's sole-author 1988 SIGCOMM paper. It is a retrospective architectural rationale, not sole credit for TCP/IP or the Internet, and it does not imply that every later Internet design follows the same priorities.
