The Internet How Did The Internet Develop?

The internet developed from ARPANET in the late 1960s when the US Department of Defense connected mainframe computers to form a communications network. This early version of the internet was known as ARPANET. In the 1980s, the term "internet" was officially adopted to describe the process of internetworking, or linking networks together. The ARPANET split into two parts, ARPANET for research and MILNET for the military. In the mid-1980s, the NSFNet was created as a new high-speed network to interconnect research centers and give academics access to share information. By the early 1990s, NSFNet had replaced ARPANET and fueled growth of the commercial internet through protocols like

How did the internet develop?


How did the internet develop? The internet as we

know it today is actually a very large wide area network (WAN) connecting computers and networks around the world. It makes it possible for millions of computer users to connect to one another via telephone lines, cable lines, and statellites.

Internet was born in the late 1960s


Internet was born in the late 1960s Advanced

Research Projects Agency (ARPA) or the US Department of Defense linked together mainframe computers to form a communications network. ARPANet Early version of the internet was known as ARPANet Backbone Is a term used to describe a structure that handles the major traffic in a networked system much like a major highway Network Backbone is a cyberspace highway made up of highspeed cables and switching stations.

Internetworking
internetworking The process of linking a collection of

networks is called internetworking This term is where the internet got its name The term internet was officially adopted in 1983. More commonly referred to as the Net. ARPANet Users originally used the internet to share Scientific and engineering information Other uses discovered Email most popular Expansion into Europe in 1970s.

ARPANet splits into two parts :


ARPANet splits into two parts ARPANet and MILNet. MILNet Various defence agencies and the military ARPANet

Research and development network International communication tool for the academic community. Mid 1980s :

Mid 1980s Speed of ARPANet backbone no longer sufficient. National Science Foundation (NSF) created a new high-speed

network NSFNet

NSFNet :
NSFNet Two main objectives :
To interconnect supercomputing centres so they could

access one anothers recources.


To give academic and research centres access to one

another for purposes of exchanging information.


ARPANet and NSFNet Linked together but NSFNet had a

faster backbone By early 1990s NSFNet fully replaced ARPANet.

Growth of Internet
Growth of Internet Fueled by purchase of

personal computers.
Growing demand for anytime, anywhere NSFNet academics only Bell, AT&T and Nortel built high-speed backbones and new

networks that used the same protocols.

TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol


TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet

Protocol Accepted means of communication Protocol Is an agreed upon format for transmitting data between two or more devices A set of formal rules for transmitting data. TCIP/IP Available for free Rapid growth of the internet Set up internet accounts with telecommunications companies and Internet service providers (ISPs) Internet - most popular use Email and file sharing.
