TCP/IP supports the construction of internetworks. <ref>http://jimmyjohnston.org/notes/networking/ccnax1mod2.pdf</ref> TCP/IP saw very little use outside of government facilities and public universities until the commercialization of the internet began in the early 1990's. At that time TCP/IP slowly replaced the, then dominant, [[Novell]] [[NetWare]] IPX/SPX protocol. |
