Designer of UDP/IP, per above thesis also inventor of MVCC, and a co author of the (imho) important "End-to-end arguments in system design" whitepaper, etc ...
It's David P. Reed's PhD thesis, which led among other things to the fascinating Croquet [0,1] system. When I visited Viewpoints Research in 2014 while working on my own approach to concurrent programming, Reed's thesis was specifically recommended to me as well worth studying.
It was signed and publshed in September 1978, says I, the author. The February date is the date of the Ph.D. degree award, which officially happens at the end of each semester.
It looks visually almost identical; one neat thing about the dtic.mil version is that it is a reproduction from the microfiche scan of the document (!).
The version at dspace however is paginated and laid out very differently. The TR/dtic.mil version has around 187-188 pages, depending on how you count; the dspace version has 217.
