Van Jacobson is an American computer scientist, renowned for his work on TCP/IP network performance and scaling.[1] He is one of the primary contributors to the TCP/IP protocol stack—the technological foundation of today’s Internet.[2] Since 2013, Jacobson is an adjunct professor at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) working on Named Data Networking.

Early life and education

Jacobson studied Modern Poetry, Physics, and Mathematics and received an M.S. in physics and a B.S. in mathematics from the University of Arizona.[3] He did graduate work at Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory.[4]

Career

His work redesigning TCP/IP's congestion control algorithms (Jacobson's algorithm)[5][6] to better handle congestion is said to have saved the Internet from collapsing in the late 1980s and early 1990s.[7] He is also known for the TCP/IP Header Compression protocol described in RFC 1144: Compressing TCP/IP Headers for Low-Speed Serial Links,[8] popularly known as Van Jacobson TCP/IP Header Compression.

He is the co-author of several widely used network diagnostic tools, including traceroute, tcpdump, and pathchar. He was a leader in the development of the multicast backbone (MBone)[9] and the multimedia tools vic,[10] vat,[11] and wb.[12]

Jacobson worked at the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory from 1974 to 1998 as a Research scientist in the Real-time Controls Group and later group leader for the Network Research Group.[13] He was Chief Scientist at Cisco Systems from 1998 to 2000.[14] In 2000 he became Chief Scientist for Packet Design, Inc. and in 2002 for a spin-off, Precision I/O.[15] He joined PARC as a research fellow in August 2006.

En enero de 2006, en Linux.conf.au , Jacobson presentó otra idea sobre la mejora del rendimiento de la red, que desde entonces se conoce como canales de red . [ 16 ] Jacobson habló sobre sus ideas acerca de las redes de datos con nombre (NDN), el enfoque de su trabajo en PARC , en agosto de 2006 como parte de las Google Tech Talks . [ 17 ] [ 18 ] Jacobson ahora trabaja con el Consorcio NDN financiado por la Fundación Nacional de Ciencias para explorar y crear el futuro de Internet.

Premios y membresías

Jacobson, junto con su colega de LBL, Steven McCanne, ganó el premio R&D 100 de la revista R&D en 1995 por el desarrollo de un paquete de herramientas de software que permite la videoconferencia multiparte a través de MBone (Multicast Backbone). [ 19 ]

Por su trabajo, Jacobson recibió el Premio ACM SIGCOMM 2001 a la Trayectoria Profesional "por sus contribuciones a la arquitectura de protocolos y al control de la congestión", [ 1 ] el Premio IEEE Koji Kobayashi de Informática y Comunicaciones 2002 , [ 7 ] y fue elegido miembro de la Academia Nacional de Ingeniería en 2004 por sus "contribuciones a los protocolos de red, incluyendo la multidifusión y el control de la congestión". [ 20 ]

En 2012, Jacobson fue incorporado al Salón de la Fama de Internet por la Sociedad de Internet . [ 21 ]
