The people who are involved in NDN had also huge part in making the current TCP/IP work.
For example Van Jacobson, whom started the idea and made huge contributions, one of them was implementing congestion control in TCP/IP. Some people don't know but in early 90s the Internet actually collapsed under the traffic and was practically unusable until his fix.
Lixia Zhang for example was working on TCP/IP since 1981 she was responsible for Resource ReSerVation Protocol (RSVP), which is implemented by almost every major router vendor today for Internet resource management and traffic control applications.
