(2) Please note, that in the world of Information Technology and Networking, a single term, or acronym, may very well have more then one totally different meaning, use, developer, designer, or function. Or may have mistaken interpretations. The Network Control Program is sometimes mistakenly referred to as the Network Control Protocol, as in this reference below. This information is on this wikipedia page to help educate those who are still not sure about NCP in reference to the ARPANET or port numbers. The earliest RFC reference to the NCP acronym, explicitly defines NCP as Network Control Program. http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc33 Page 4.
Some references, such as [Steven, W Richard. TCP/IP Illustrated Volume I. Reading, Massachusetts, USA: Addison-Wesley Publishing Company, 1994. ISBN 0-201-63346-9(v.1). Page 15.], mistakenly refer to NCP as Network Control Protocol.
I'm going to turn this into a dab page, because having to explain on the PPP page that NCP might refer to 'Network Control Program' is just too big of a stretch. Noel (talk) 14:01, 1 March 2015 (UTC)
