Symbolics using CHAOS (TCP derivative) ... Chaos is not a TCP derivative. Chaos was in active service at MIT around 1978 or so, which I think was before TCP became operational. Chaos is more a derivation of (Xerox) PUP and Arpanet NCP, with a bunch of things "fixed." In some ways it is more powerful than TCP/IP, and in some ways less. It is certainly not a derivative of TCP, even though Chaos's designers worked in the same building as some of the major contributors to the TCP design.
