互联网先驱丹尼尔·林奇（Daniel C. Lynch）上周六在加利福尼亚州圣赫勒拿岛的家中去世，享年 82 岁。Lynch 是 TCP/IP 协议的开发人员、研究人员和布道者，他在推动 TCP/IP 协议的普及和发展上发挥了关键作用。TCP/IP 协议是当今互联网的基础。在 1970 年代，Lynch 在斯坦福研究所从事 TCP/IP 协议的开发。他还在互联网的前身阿帕网（ARPANET）向 TCP/IP 的转移中发挥了关键作用。如今，该协议控制着数据通过网络发送和接收的方式。Lynch 是知名的年度信息技术会议 Interop 的创办人，后来他将 Interop 卖给了 Ziff Davis，后者是 PCMag、Mashable 和 IGN 等知名媒体的主要出版商。 Lynch 还是 CyberCash 的联合创始人，CyberCash 是最早的电子商务在线支付服务之一，2001 年该公司申请破产。
Internet pioneer Daniel C. Lynch passed away at his home on Saint Helena Island, California, last Saturday at the age of 82. Lynch was a developer, researcher, and advocate of the TCP/IP protocol, playing a crucial role in its popularization and advancement. The TCP/IP protocol serves as the foundation of today’s internet. In the 1970s, Lynch was involved in the development of the TCP/IP protocol at Stanford Research Institute. He also played a key role in the transition of the precursor to the internet, ARPANET, to TCP/IP. Today, this protocol governs the way data is sent and received across networks. Lynch was also the founder of the renowned annual information technology conference, Interop, which he later sold to Ziff Davis, a major publisher of prominent media outlets such as PCMag, Mashable, and IGN. Lynch was also a co-founder of CyberCash, one of the earliest online payment services for e-commerce, which filed for bankruptcy in 2001.
