{{Short description|Networking API for MS-DOS}}
'''PC/TCP Packet Driver''' is a networking [[Application programming interface|API]] for [[MS-DOS]], [[PC DOS]], and later [[x86]] [[Disk Operating System|DOS]] implementations such as [[DR-DOS]], [[FreeDOS]], etc. It implements the lowest levels of a [[TCP/IP]] stack, where the remainder is typically implemented either by [[terminate-and-stay-resident]] [[device driver|drivers]] or as a [[software library|library]] linked into an application program. It was invented in 1983 at [[MIT]]'s Lab for Computer Science (CSR/CSC group under [[Jerry Saltzer]] and [[David D. Clark]]), and was commercialized in 1986 by [[FTP Software]].
