HISTORY OF THE INTERNET PRESENTED BY ;-HARDEEP SAINI
1
WHO CREATED THE INTERNET?
13-Sep-13
when did it start? why? how did it evolve? why do we care?
nethistory.ppt
how does it work?
what does it take to get access to it?

WHO STARTED IT, AND WHY?
the U. S. Department of Defense
13-Sep-13
Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) began ~1962 in reaction to the Soviet Union's launch of Sputnik in 1957 DARPA was told to find ways to utilize the nations investment in computers funding for projects that might provide dramatic advances for military timeframe of research could be 5 years or longer formed with an emphasis towards basic computing research

was not oriented only to military products
eventually, DARPA settled on computer networking as a main goal

IT DIDNT HAPPEN ALL AT ONCE
1969 ARPANET commissioned by DoD for research into networking
13-Sep-13
1971 15 nodes (23 hosts) networked for the first time used NCP (network control protocol) to allow computers to communicate UCLA, SRI, UCSB, Univ of Utah, BBN, MIT, RAND, SDC, Harvard, Lincoln Lab, Stanford, UIU(C), CWRU, CMU, NASA/Ames 1972 the first e-mail program was created by Ray Tomlinson of BBN 1973 first international connections to the ARPANET
nethistory.ppt
University College of London (England) via NORSAR (Norway) (collaboration between Stanford and DARPA)
development began on the protocol later to be called TCP/IP
1974 first use of term internet in a paper on Transmission Control Protocol 1976 Elizabeth II, Queen of the United Kingdom, sends her first email 4
HOW DID THE NETWORK EVOLVE?
13-Sep-13
ARPAs created the first network ARPA did not act as an enforcer on standards, but instead, invited public participation in improving the network
nethistory.ppt
the founding philosophy:
to be resilient, the network was not supposed to rely on a centralized control this was revolutionary
the network relied on a growing number of standard specification documents
only standards-compliant computers could communicate
ARPA retained control but exercised it judiciously (little)
WHO WROTE THE NETWORK STANDARDS?
13-Sep-13
university researchers participated in standards work private industry research contributed personnel
nethistory.ppt
AT&T, IBM, and many others funded their employees to work on network improvements
some people did it for free as a sideline to their work
standards were created by the public and developers everywhere
via the RFC process (public proposals) if many in industry and research institutions implemented the proposals, they eventually became standard

INTERNET IN
1977
NETWORKING TIMELINE
1978 TCP protocol (Stanford research since 1976) split into TCP and IP protocols 1980 ARPANET grinds to a complete halt on 27 October
- EIGHTIES
13-Sep-13
because of an accidentally-propagated status-message virus so users would not have to know the exact path to other systems TCP/IP became the core internet protocol, replacing NCP entirely
name server developed at University of Wisconsin
on January 1st, every machine connected to ARPANET had to use TCP/IP
nethistory.ppt
1983 first IBM personal computers sold 1984
Domain Name System (DNS) introduced on ARPANET
1986
Mail Exchanger (MX) records developed
to allow non-IP network hosts to have email domain addresses to coordinate contractors for DARPA Coordinated work on ARPANET, US Defense Data Network (DDN), and the Internet core gateway system
Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) created
1987 email link established between Germany and China
1989 number of hosts breaks 100,000
NETWORKING TIMELINE
ADVENT OF WWW
1990 ARPANET ceases to exist
Tim Berners-Lee and CERN in Geneva implement HTTP for members of the international high-energy physics community independent internet service provicers begin to spring up everywhere
13-Sep-13
nethistory.ppt
1991 PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) released by Philip Zimmerman 1992 number of internet hosts breaks 1,000,000
no web yet; email and newsnet only (mostly at command line) world-wide web (WWW) HTTP protocol released by CERN
Tim Berners-Lee, developer
