-* 2: Internet History Last Modified: * -* How did the Internet come to be? It started as a research project to experiment with connecting computers together with packet switched networks. It was developed with funding and leadership of the Defense Department’s Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA). -* Who invented the Internet? Al Gore? No ? Leonard Kleinrock who did early work in packet switching? Vint Cerf and Robert Kahn who defined the Internet Protocol (IP) and participated in the development of TCP? Tim Berners-Lee who developed HTTP to support a global hyper-text system he called the World Wide Web? (Internet vs the World Wide Web?) -* 1958-1961: Connect Computers? 1958 – After USSR launches Sputnik, first artificial earth satellite, US forms the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA), the following year, within the Department of Defense (DoD) to establish US lead in science and technology applicable to the military 1961 – First published work on packet switching (“Information Flow in Large Communication Nets”, Leonard Kleinrock, MIT graduate student) 1964 – other independent work in packet switching at RAND Institute and National Physics Laboratory in England -* 1966 –1968: Connect Computers? Funded 1966 – Lawrence Roberts (colleague of Kleinrock from MIT) publishes overall plan for an ARPAnet, a proposed packet switch network 1968 – ARPA awards contracts for four nodes in ARPANET to UCLA (Network Measurement), Stanford Research Institute (Network Information Center), UCSB (Interactive Mathematics) and U Utah (Graphics); BBN gets contract to build the IMP switches -* 1969: First Connections 4/7/1969 – First RFC (“Host Software” by Steve Crocker) basis for the Network Control Protocol(NCP) 9/2/1969 – Leonard Kleinrock’s computer at UCLA becomes first node on the ARPANET 10/29/1969 – First packets sent; Charlie Kline attempts use of remote login from UCLA to SRI; system crashes as “G” in entered -* 1967-1971: So what do we do with it? 1967-19
