Network Control Program (usually given as NCP) was the name for the software on hosts which implemented the Network Control Protocol of the ARPANET.[1]
It was almost universally referred to by the acronym, NCP. This was later taken over to refer to the protocol suite itself.[2][3]
NCP's were written for many operating systems, including Multics, TENEX, UNIX and TOPS-10, and many of those NCP's survive (although of course they are now only used by vintage computer enthusiasts).
