    Begining of devepelopment

  • Period: to

    US Department of Defense awarded contracts

    aas early as the 60s for packet network system. Including the development of ARPANET

  • first paper on packet switching theory

  • Period: to

    Work at MIT

  • Licklider discuss his "Galactic Network" concept

  • Licklider was the first head of the computer research program at DARPA

  • Period: to

    Work at RAND

  • first book of the subject

  • RAND group written a paperon packet switching networks for secure voice in the military

  • Period: to

    Work at NPL

  • Period: to

    Packet switching networks were develop

    Using a variety of communications protocols.

  • Thomas Merril and Robert connected the TX-2 computer in Mass

  • Roberts went to DARPA to develop the computer network concept

  • Roberts plan for the "ARPANET" was published

  • Roberts and teh DARPA funded community had refined the overall structure and specification for the ARPANET

  • RFQ was won by a group headed by Frank Heart at Bolt Beranek and Newman (BBN)

  • BBN installed the first IMP at UCLA and the first host computers was connected together into the initial ARPANET

  • Network Working Group working under S. Crocker

  • Period: to

    ARPANET sites completed implementing NPC

  • The initial "hot" application, electronic mail, was introduced

  • Roberts exapanded its utility by writing the first email utility program to list, selectively read, file, forward, and respond to messages

  • Kahn organized a large, very successful demonstration of the ARPANET at the ICCC

  • after starting the internetting effort, he asked Vint Cerf to work with him in the detailed design of the protocol

  • Ethernet technology, developed by Bob Metcalfe at Xerox PARC, is now probably the dominant network technology in the internet and PCs and workstation the dominant computers

  • Period: to

    internet grew

  • Access to the ARPANET was expanded

    when the National Science Foundation (NSF) funded the Computer Science Network.

  • The Internet protocol suite was introduced

    As the standard networking protocol on the ARPANET.
  • Period: to

    NSFNET program's ecumenism and funding $200 million

  • agreement between Farber, acting for CSNET and the NSF

  • FNC unanimously passed a resolution defining the term internet

  • Roles that countinued to play until his death
