How was the Internet in its early days?
"We set up a telephone connection between us and the guys at SRI.."
Of course, it wasn't the same as looks today.
How did it evolve?
Who made it look like this?
The revolution started as a research project to connect computer via packet switched network. It was developed under the leadership of Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA).
In just few years, it wasn't just a project, it was a grand surprise to the world!
Here's a sneak peak into the history of the Internet.
Early Stages
1958: Russia launches "Sputnik"- world's first artificial satellite
1962: Leonard Kleinrock, MIT student publishes a paper on packet switching.
1966: Lawrence Roberts, another MIT student publishes a plan for ARPAnet based on packet switching.
1968: BBN receives the contract for developing Interface Message Processors (IMP) switches.
April 07,1969: "Host Software"- first RFC published by Steve Crocker.
September 02,1969: Leonard Kleinrock's computer becomes the first node at UCLA in ARPANET.
October 29,1969: Charlie Klaine attempts remote login from UCLA to SRI.
"We set up a telephone connection between us and the guys at SRI.."
Kleinrock said in an interview:
"We typed the L and we asked on the phone,
"Do you see the L?"
"Yes, we see the L," came the response.
"We typed the O, and we asked, "Do you see the O."
"Yes, we see the O."
"Then we typed the G, and the system crashed.."
"Do you see the L?"
"Yes, we see the L," came the response.
"We typed the O, and we asked, "Do you see the O."
"Yes, we see the O."
"Then we typed the G, and the system crashed.."
1970s: Getting Ready for Something Big!
1970: AT & T installs first ever link between UCLA and BBN at 56kbps
1972: Ray Tomlinson writes email program for ARPANET, TELNET protocol RFC published
1973: Bob Metacalfe gives birth to Ethernet at Xerox, Palo Alto Research Center, FTP protocol RFC published
1974: First full draft of TCP produced.
1978: TCP splits into TCP and IP
1980s: Time of Tremendous Growth
1981: The term "Internet" is born.
1982: ISO releases famous 7-layer OSI model.
January 01, 1983: Original ARPANET NCP banned, TCP takes its place.
1984: Cisco comes alive, Domain Name System (DNS) introduced.
November 1988: Internet worm affecting 10% of 60000 computers on the Internet.
December 1988: Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) established.
End of 1980s: About 100,000 hosts!
1990s: Commercialization
1990-1993: WorldWideWeb, Mosaic, a GUI based browser introduced.
Internet Overflow!
1992: Internet Society founded.
1995: Sun launches JAVA, registrations of domain names is no more free of cost!
