Joseph Noel Chiappa is a retired researcher who worked in the area of information systems architecture and software, principally computer networks.

Education

Chiappa attended Saltus Grammar School in Bermuda, and Phillips Academy and MIT in the US.[1]

Career

Chiappa started work on the multiprotocol Proteon router in 1980 router.[2][better source needed]

Chiappa was the first to propose and design the original version of Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP).[3] It was only revised by others including Bob Baldwin, Dave Clark, and Steve Szymanski.[4] He is acknowledged in several other RFC's, such as RFC-826, RFC-919, RFC-950 and others. He has worked extensively on the Locator/Identifier Separation Protocol (LISP). In 1992, Chiappa was also credited for fixing the "Sorcerer's Apprentice" protocol bug as well as other document problems.[5]

Chiappa is listed on the "Birth of the Internet" plaque at the entrance to the Gates Computer Science Building, Stanford.[6] He served as the first Internet Area Director on the Internet Engineering Steering Group, from 1989 to 1992.[7]

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. He is also involved in the development of the IP: next generation (IPng). A report, for instance, documented his objection to the IPng selection process and cited his alternative IPng project called Nimrod.[8]
