As a staff researcher and Internet technology pioneer at the [[MIT Laboratory for Computer Science]], Chiappa invented the multi-protocol [[router (computing)|router]]. In addition to wide use at MIT, that router was later used at [[Stanford University|Stanford]] in 1982; other multi-protocol routers at Stanford were invented independently by [[William Yeager]].<ref>[https://www.pbs.org/cringely/pulpit/1998/pulpit_19981210_000593.html Valley of the Nerds: Who Really Invented the Multiprotocol Router, and Why Should We Care?], Public Broadcasting Service, Accessed August 11, 2007.</ref><ref>[http://www.networkworld.com/supp/2006/anniversary/032706-routerman.html?t5 Router Man], NetworkWorld, Accessed June 22, 2007.</ref><ref>David D.

Chiappa is listed on the "Birth of the Internet" plaque at the entrance to the Gates Computer Science Building, Stanford.[10] He served as the first Internet Area Director on the Internet Engineering Steering Group, from 1989 to 1992.[11]

From 2012, Chiappa was working on long-term issues in both the Internet Research Task Force and Internet Engineering Task Force and its predecessors; he served as the initial Area Director for Internet Services of the Internet Engineering Steering Group from 1987-1992.[12][13][citation needed]

He was also involved in the development of IPv6, objecting to the IPng selection process.[14]

Among many non-technical interests, he is particularly interested in Japanese woodblock prints, and helps maintain online catalogue raisonnés for two major woodblock artists, Tsukioka Yoshitoshi and Utagawa Hiroshige II[15][better source needed]

Personal life
