    The document provides a history of the development of the Internet from 1957 to 1994. It describes how ARPA (Advanced Research Projects Agency) was formed in 1957 in response to Sputnik and funded research into connecting computers. The first ARPANET connected 4 nodes in 1969. TCP and IP were developed between 1973-1978 to allow internetworking. The World Wide Web was released in 1992, accelerating the Internet's growth.

    History of the Internet

    Dr Maria Elena Villapol


    January 2009

    1957
    Spuntnik was launched.
    Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) in
    the Department of Defense (DoD) was formed
    as response.

    Mid-1960s
    Mainframe computers were
    standalone computers.

    ARPA
    Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) in
    the Department of Defense (DoD) was
    interested in finding a way to connect
    computers.
    So researchers, they funded could share they
    findings.

    1959-1967
    There was some research
    on packet networks:
    Lenoard Kleinrock:
    Information Flow in Large
    Communication Networks,
    PhD Thesis, 1961.
    Paul Baran, RAND: "On
    Distributed Communications
    Networks" - Packet-switching
    (PS) networks; no single
    outage point, 1961.
    Larry Roberts/Tom Marill
    publish first paper on
    network experiments, 1966.

    1965
    ARPA sponsors study on "cooperative network of
    time-sharing computers"
    TX-2 at MIT Lincoln Lab and Q-32 at System
    Development Corporation (Santa Monica, CA) are
    directly linked (without packet switches)
    Question
    How were they connected?
    a)
    b)
    c)
    d)

    A satellite link
    A dedicated telephone line.
    A radio link
    TV network

    1967
    ACM Symposium on Operating Principles:
    Larry Roberts presented a plan for a packetswitching network.
    Laboratory (NPL) in Middlesex, England develops
    NPL Data Network under D. W. Davies.

    Donald Davies
    Larry Roberts
    ARPAs Director

    1967
    ARPA wants to build a small computer network.
    It is called ARPANET later on.
    Host computer would be attached to a
    specialized computer, called Interface Message
    Processor, IMP.
    An IMP would be connected to one another.
    An IMP had to be able to communicate with:
    Attached host
    Other IMP

    1968
    BBN in consulting firm in Cambridge,
    Massachusetts wins the contract to build the
    subnet and write the software.

    1969
    Question
    How many nodes did the very first ARPANET
    have?
    a)
    b)
    c)
    d)

    2 nodes.
    4 nodes.
    10 nodes.
    100 nodes.

    1969
    First node at UCLA, Network Measurements Center
    [SDS SIGMA 7, SEX] :
    Soon after at:
    Stanford Research Institute (SRI), NIC
    [SDS940/Genie]
    UCSB, Culler-Fried Interactive Mathematics [IBM
    360/75, OS/MVT]
    Univ of Utah, Graphics [DEC PDP-10, Tenex]

    1969 IMP

    1969
    SRI

    UCLA

    29 Oct 1969
    First Message sent on the Internet.
    Question
    What was the first message ever sent on the
    Internet?
    a)
    b)
    c)
    d)

    What hath God Wrought (Morse, 1844)


    Watson, come her, I want you (Bell, 1876)
    LO (??)
    One Giant Leap for Mankind (Amstrong 1969)

    1969

    Question
    The news of the first message on the
    Internet was announced by:
    a) Yahoo Today News
    b) Nobody noticed
    c) Several newspapers, magazines, and radio and
    television broadcasters around the world.

    November 1969

    1969: 4-node ARPANET


    The Network Control
    Protocol (NCP) provides
    communication
    between the hosts

    1970
    ALOHAnet developed by Norman
    Abrahamson, Univ of Hawaii.
    connected to the ARPANET in 1972

    1971
    15 nodes (23 hosts): UCLA, SRI, UCSB, Univ of
    Utah, BBN, MIT, RAND, SDC, Harvard, Lincoln
    Lab, Stanford, UIU(C), CWRU, CMU,
    NASA/Ames.

    1971

    1973-1974
    1973: Vinn Cerf and Bob Kahn design TCP.
    1974: Vint Cerf and Bob Kahn publish "A
    Protocol for Packet Network
    Intercommunication" which specified in detail
    the design of a Transmission Control Program
    (TCP). [IEEE Trans Comm]

    1978
    TCP splits into TCP and IP.

    1982
    DCA and ARPA establish the Transmission Control
    Protocol (TCP) and Internet Protocol (IP), as the
    protocol suite, commonly known as TCP/IP, for
    ARPANET.
    This leads to one of the first definitions of an
    "internet" as a connected set of networks,
    specifically those using TCP/IP, and "Internet" as
    connected TCP/IP internets.
    DoD declares TCP/IP suite to be standard for DoD.

    1986-1989
    1986: Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF)
    and Internet Research Task Force (IRTF) comes
    into existence under the IAB. First IETF
    meeting held in January at Linkabit in San
    Diego.
    1987: Number of hosts breaks 10,000
    1989: Number of hosts breaks 100,000

    1970-1990 Internet Applications

    E-mail
    News
    Remote Login using Telnet, rlogin, ssh
    File Transfer using FTP

    1991-1993
    1991:National Science Fundation (NFS) opens
    Internet for commercial use.
    1992: World-Wide Web (WWW) released by
    CERN; Tim Berners-Lee developer.
    1993: March Andreesson Mosaic Browser

    1994
    First spam on the Internet by two Arizonabased attorneys Lawrence Canter and Martha
    Siegel.
