Chiappa started work on MIT's multi-protocol Chaosnet router in 1980.[2][better source needed][3] This code routed Chaosnet and IP packets independently. It was later licensed to Proteon and formed the basis of their first multi-protocol router product.[4]

Chiappa designed the original version of Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP).[5] He is acknowledged[clarification needed] in several other RFC's, such as RFC-826, RFC-919, RFC-950 and others.[6][7][8][citation needed] He has worked extensively on the Locator/Identifier Separation Protocol (LISP).[citation needed] In 1992, Chiappa was also credited for fixing the "Sorcerer's Apprentice" protocol bug as well as other document problems.[9]

Chiappa is listed on the "Birth of the Internet" plaque at the entrance to the Gates Computer Science Building, Stanford.[10] He served as the first Internet Area Director on the Internet Engineering Steering Group, from 1989 to 1992.[11]

From 2012, Chiappa was working on long-term issues in both the Internet Research Task Force and Internet Engineering Task Force and its predecessors; he served as the initial Area Director for Internet Services of the Internet Engineering Steering Group from 1987 to 1992.[12][13][citation needed]

He was also involved in the development of IPv6, objecting to the IPng selection process.[14]
