The telephones had, and have, a prefix, a switch identifier and subscriber lines. Hierarchical switching of electrons. IP was not an invention, it was a Moore's law adjusttment of a prior hardware layer to the first level software layer, the typical boosting of the stack. That could be done in a few lines of optimized software, the capability deployed in all the universities, they become their own Bell network. TPC was mostly pick the best practices from the earlier packet networks.
The addressing format got an upgrade giving it a much flatter, larger address base. This was another Moore's Law update. Underneath was Morse's Law, data rates doubling about every five years. Progress, helping the greatest number of biologies, is about controlling the electron. Today we are able to engage a network software bot in an honor bound contract, protected up to counterfeit, which is easily made difficult. That contract can expand over multiple trusted miner calls, over many trades, over a long timeout, autonomously, in confidence to the contract.
