Louis Pouzin
From Computer History Wiki
Louis Pouzin is the French computer scientist who made the key technical step in data networking between the ideas of the ARPANET and those of the later Internet: moving reliability mechanisms into the hosts, allowing the network (and its constituent packet switches) to be unreliable - and thereby simpler and faster.
The network that he and his team built, using this new approach, CYCLADES, laid the technical groundwork for the Internet.
