This particular computer was one of the 15 nodes on ARPANET, the computer network that would become the Internet.

Rulifson was SRI's representative to the " network working group " in 1968, which led to the first connection on the ARPANET.

He did much to actually initiate all that through his funding of research which led to a great deal of it, including today's canonical graphical user interface, and the ARPANET, the direct predecessor to the Internet.

This led to work on the ARPANET, which became the Internet.

Packet switching research and development led first to the military's ARPANET, and then to the Internet itself.

The idea of the IMP being a separate computer was suggested by Wes Clark to Larry Roberts who led the ARPANET implementation for the Department of Defense's Advanced Research Projects Agency ( ARPA ).

Request For Comments documents were invented by Steve Crocker in 1969 to help record unofficial notes on the development of the ARPANET.

Licklider at the Information Processing Technology Office, both wide-area network evangelists, and it helped influence Lawrence Roberts to adopt the technology when Taylor put him in charge of development of the ARPANET.

" Baran discusses his interaction with the group at ARPA who were responsible for the later development of the ARPANET.

In 1985, a team from the National Center for Supercomputing Applications began the development of NSFNet, a TCP / IP-based computer network that could connect to the ARPANET, at the Cornell Center for Advanced Computing and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

Western Union failed in its attempts to engineer a replacement ( AUTODIN II ), leading to the development of an acceptable packet-switched network by BBN ( the developer of the ARPANET ) which became the foundation of today's Internet.

SRI International and Xerox PARC in Silicon Valley helped give birth to the personal computer industry, while ARPA and NASA funded the development of the ARPANET and the Internet.

It is perhaps best known for its work in the development of packet switching ( including the ARPANET and the Internet ) and for its 1978 acoustical analysis for the House Select Committee on the assassination of John F. Kennedy, but it is also a military contractor, primarily for DARPA.

Some of BBN's notable developments in the field of computer networks are the implementation and operation of the ARPANET ; the first person-to-person network email sent and the use of the @ sign in an email address ; the first Internet protocol router ( then called an Interface Message Processor ); the Voice Funnel, an early predecessor of voice over IP ; and work on the development of TCP.

The interview continues into Kahn's involvement with networking when he moves to IPTO in 1972, where he was responsible for the administrative and technical evolution of the ARPANET, including programs in packet radio, the development of a new network protocol ( TCP / IP ), and the switch to TCP / IP to connect multiple networks.

He also played an important role in the development of the ARPANET, the precursor to the Internet, at UCLA.

Its research centers have played a major role in development of multiple technologies, including early development of the Internet when USC researcher Jonathan Postel was an editor of communications-protocol for the fledgling internet, also known as ARPANET.

It was also broadcast on PBS and documented the development of the ARPANET, the Internet, the World Wide Web and the Dot-com boom of the mid and late 1990s.

" Such examples of modern military wargames include DARWARS, a serious game developed since 2003 by the US DARPA agency with BBN Technologies, a defense contractor which was involved in the development of packet switching, used for ARPANET, and which developed the first computer modem in 1963.

Packet switched networks such as ARPANET, Mark I at NPL in the UK, CYCLADES, Merit Network, Tymnet, and Telenet, were developed in the late 1960s and early 1970s using a variety of protocols.

By the summer of 1973, Kahn and Cerf had worked out a fundamental reformulation, where the differences between network protocols were hidden by using a common internetwork protocol, and, instead of the network being responsible for reliability, as in the ARPANET, the hosts became responsible.

The migration of the ARPANET to TCP / IP was officially completed on flag day January 1, 1983, when the new protocols were permanently activated.

In 1977, DARPA created a packet radio network called PRNET in the San Francisco Bay area and conducted a series of experiments with SRI to verify the use of ARPANET ( a precursor to the Internet ) communications protocols ( later known as IP ) over packet radio links between mobile and fixed network nodes.

As a UCLA graduate student in the 1960s, Steve Crocker helped create the ARPANET protocols which were the foundation for today's Internet.

The term catenet was gradually displaced by the short-form of the term internetwork, internet ( lower-case i ), when the Internet Protocol replaced earlier protocols on the ARPANET.

On the ARPANET, the protocols in the Physical Layer, the Data Link Layer, and the Network Layer used within the network were implemented on separate Interface Message Processors ( IMPs ).

On January 1, 1983, known as flag day, NCP was officially rendered obsolete when the ARPANET changed its core networking protocols from NCP to the more flexible and powerful TCP / IP protocol suite, marking the start of the modern Internet.

Some of them, such as Telnet and File Transfer Protocol, were basically the same protocols as used on the ARPANET ( much as occurred with the TCP / IP suite ).

The Requests for Comments ( RFC ) series was considered the province of the ARPANET project and the Network Working Group ( NWG ) which defined the network protocols used on it.

ARC soon became the first Network Information Center and thus managed the directory for connections among all ARPANET nodes.

In the spring of 1973, Vinton Cerf, the developer of the existing ARPANET Network Control Program ( NCP ) protocol, joined Kahn to work on open-architecture interconnection models with the goal of designing the next protocol generation for the ARPANET.

Inspired by Adventure, a group of students at MIT wrote a game called Zork in the summer of 1977 for the PDP-10 minicomputer which became quite popular on the ARPANET.

* ARPANET, an interactive computer-based information network that paved the way for the Internet

SMTP can trace its roots to two implementations described in 1971, the Mail Box Protocol, which has been disputed to actually have been implemented, but is discussed in RFC 196 and other RFCs, and the SNDMSG program, which, according to RFC 2235, Ray Tomlinson of BBN " invents " for TENEX computers the sending of mail across the ARPANET.

It was founded at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Laboratory for Computer Science ( MIT / LCS ) with support from the European Commission and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency ( DARPA ), which had pioneered the Internet and its predecessor ARPANET.

In Digital: A Love Story, the Morris worm is portrayed as a cover story for a large-scale attack on ARPANET and several Bulletin Board Systems.

IANA was established informally as a reference to various technical functions for the ARPANET, that Jon Postel and Joyce K. Reynolds performed at UCLA and at the University of Southern California's Information Sciences Institute.

* for groups gatewayed from ARPANET, mod.

When the ARPANET switched to TCP / IP in 1982, the road was paved for MTAs that no longer relied on FTP for delivery.

As an MTA, it was designed to deliver e-mail over the still relatively small ( as compared to today's Internet ) ARPANET, which consisted of many smaller networks with vastly differing formats for e-mail headers.

At ERI, Fairclough, Major, Neibaur and Powell worked on government contracts for the Intelligent Systems Technology Project, and gained an important insight into the ARPANET and related technologies, ideas which would become crucial to the foundation of Novell.

While working on a satellite packet network project, he came up with the initial ideas for what later became the Transmission Control Protocol ( TCP ), which was intended as a replacement for an earlier network protocol, NCP, used in the ARPANET.
