The Internet: Chapter 1 Lesson 1

The document discusses the history and definition of the Internet. It began in the 1960s as the ARPANET, a network created by the US Department of Defense's Advanced Research Projects Agency. In the 1970s, TCP/IP protocols were developed to allow different networks to communicate. By the 1980s, the ARPANET had transitioned to using TCP/IP and become the foundation of the modern Internet. No single entity owns the Internet, which is made up of interconnected networks. The document outlines common Internet services and uses, including communication, shopping, entertainment, exploration, and accessing vast amounts of constantly updated information.

 End 1960s – ARPA sponsors the development
of a packet-switching network called the
ARPANET
 Four nodes of the ARPANET

Network
1974 – Robert Kahn and Vinton Cerf
propose the TCP/IP protocols and models
 1980 – IPv4 is introduced
 the fourth version of the Internet Protocol (IP)
 It is one of the core protocols of standards-based
internetworking methods in the Internet, and was the
first version deployed for production in the ARPANET
in 1983.
 1983 – ARPANET adopts TCP/IP
 This time the ARPANET has 200 routers.
 1984 – NSF (National Science
Foundation) funds a TCP/IP-based
backbone network.
 This grows into NSFNET, which
becomes the successor of the
ARPANET
 1995 – NSF stops funding NSFNET.
