I think the original post by B. Lentz is asking for the defining paper for the internet layers. The question is whether you want TCP/IP model, which is 5 layers and sometimes called the DoD model, or if you want the more recent OSI 7 layer model, or some other layer definition (don't more recent IETF developments alter/supersede the layer model?). As I understand it, the 5-layer TCP/IP model is defined in the early 1970's at ARPA. I think the "origin" may be the following text: Cerf, V., and R. Kahn, "A Protocol for Packet Network Intercommunication", IEEE Transactions on Communications, Vol. COM-22, No. 5, pp 637-648, May 1974. Certainly Vint Cerf was the co-author. I would start there. As to OSI, I would look here: http://www.comsoc.org/livepubs/50_journals/pdf/RightsManagement_eid=136833.p... - Sandy Baldwin

Dear Colleagues,
I'm trying to research the actual origin paper for the layers model. Was it Francois Barr or other scholar's contribution as a concept? Many thanks, B.
