It’s worth remembering that, at the time that the Internet Protocol was being designed in the 70s, countless competing standards (like ATM and XNS) that had more features (but were thus less modular and evolvable) ultimately lost against IP’s minimalism.

IP has thus come to be known as the "Narrow Waist of the Internet". It is the single protocol through which all traffic flows. Its most obvious advantage is that it decouples the application layer from the hardware layer so that each may evolve independently.
