Yeah, it's named after the person who wrote the RFC - John Nagle. Wild coincidence! https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc896

hes on hn as "Animats"
Funner trivia is why he's named "Animats".
I've been on HN a long time and this comment was the one to finally make me realize that "animats" is "stamina" spelled backward.
See, I didn't even realize that --- wasn't what I was referring to! :)
