Despite the great successes with ARPANET's operation, in 1969, Lawrence Roberts, IPTO's Senior Computer Scientist, met with the NWG in Utah and emphasized the need for further achievement. He provided guidance to the group to develop a viable network protocol. In 1971, the group was able to create the Network Protocol Program ([[NCP]]), which became the standard networking program for the ARPANET.<ref>[http://www.livinginternet.com/i/ii_ncp.htm Network Control Program]</ref> NCP's main function was to establish, break, and switch connections, and to control the flow of communication between different host computer systems. By the end of 1971, there were already 15 sites connected to the NCP. The NCP became the basis for [[Robert Kahn]] and [[Vinton Cerf]] to create the modern [[TCP/IP|Internet Protocol Suite]].<ref>[http://www.livinginternet.com/i/ii_arpanet.htm ARPANET-The First Internet]</ref> | Despite the great successes with ARPANET's operation, in 1969, Lawrence Roberts, IPTO's Senior Computer Scientist, met with the NWG in Utah and emphasized the need for further achievement.
