It happened that the work at MIT (1961–1967), at RAND (1962–1965), and at NPL (1964–1967) had all proceeded in parallel without any of the researchers knowing about the other work. The word 'packet' was adopted from the work at NPL
Almost immediately after the 1965 meeting, Donald Davies conceived of the details of a store-and-forward packet switching system
Then in June 1966, Davies wrote a second internal paper, 'Proposal for a Digital Communication Network' In which he coined the word packet,- a small sub part of the message the user wants to send, and also introduced the concept of an 'Interface computer' to sit between the user equipment and the packet network.
