	Arpanet
		The Advanced Research Projects Agency Network (ARPANET) developed by ARPA of the U.S. Department Of Defense was the world's first operational Packet Switching network, and the progenitor of the global Internet.
		The Myth that the ARPANET was built to withstand nuclear attacks however remains such a strong and apparently appealing idea â” and of course "a good story" â” that many people refuse to believe it is not true.
		The ARPANET was designed to survive network losses, but the main reason was actually that the switching nodes and network links were not highly reliable, even without any nuclear attacks.

		Initial planning for the ARPANET began on that basis, with a number of working groups on specific technical subjects meeting during the late spring and summer of 1967.
		The first ARPANET link was established on October 29, 1969, between the IMP at UCLA and the IMP at SRI.
		The myth that the ARPANET was built to withstand nuclear attacks however remains such a strong and apparently appealing idea — and of course "a good story" — that many people refuse to believe it is not true.

	World Wide Web \| ARPANET
		In the meantime, ARPAnet was transferred to the control of the Defense Communications Agency in 1975.
		With the widespread use of UNIX, development of LANs and WANs (Wide Area Networks), the development of Ethernet at Xerox PARC, and the introductions of PCs in the late 70's and early 80's, the table was set for the soon to arrive Internet.
		ARPAnet had paved the way for networking technologies, and in turn, these technologies contributed to its growth and widespread acceptance.

	Arpanet
		Forerunner of today's Internet, Arpanet was created by the Advanced Research Projects Agency, an entity of the United States Defense Department, and began operation in 1969.
		Before the development of Arpanet and its communication protocols (rather like language dialects), there were very few means for the room-sized computers of the day to communicate.
		After Arpanet, which later came to be called Darpanet (Defense Advanced Research Projects Network, 1972) and finally just, the Internet (date debatable, but about 1983), machines of different manufacture could interact for the first time.

		Based on a concept first published in 1967, ARPANET was developed under the direction of the U.S. Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) and, in 1969, became a modest reality with the interconnection of four university computers.
		ARPANET took advantage of the new idea of sending information in small units called packets that could be routed on different paths and reconstructed at their destination.
		In the 1980s, ARPANET was handed over to a separate new military network, the Defense Data Network, and NSFNET, a network of scientific and academic computers funded by the National Science Foundation.

	Howstuffworks "The End of ARPANET"
		Between 1969 and 1977, ARPANET grew from a network of four computer sites to one with 111 computers belonging to universities, research facilities and the military.
		In 1983, the military section of ARPANET split off from the network; its only connection to the larger network was a few e-mail gateways.
		ARPANET was a big target for hackers like Kevin Poulsen, who was caught gaining unauthorized access to the network in 1983 using the nickname Dark Dante [source: Wired].

		The ARPANET, as a proposed network of unified standards, was seen by its planners as a way to bridge this resource gap by allowing researchers to access and utilize resources on computing platforms very different from those at their own institutions.
		In a listing of ARPANET nodes planned for March, 1972, nine of the twenty-four total node locations are shown to be using the PDP-10 for host computing, indicating a clear plurality.[50] Network users offered several reasons of their own for the popularity of email as a tool for human communication.
		Because the ARPANET community was limited in its early years to people who shared common backgrounds and generally knew one another from a variety of professional interactions, people tended to be aware of accepted modes of behavior.

	LGR - The ARPANET and Computer Networks
		The ARPANET network utilized microcomputer at every node to be served by the network, interconnected in a fully distributed fashion by 50 KB leased lines.
		Since the ARPANET was a public project connecting many major universities and research institutions, the implementation and performance details were widely published.
		After the ARPANET was operating successfully, their pitch changed to be that packet switching would never be economic without the government subsidy.

	ARPANET
		BBN delivered the second IMP to SRI at the beginning of October, and by the 21st of November it was possible to demonstrate a telnet-like connection between the two host computers to senior ARPA ; officials.
		ARPANET did have one very big disadvantage -- it was difficult to get connected to as it required ``political connections'', and a large amount of money.
		As ARPANET was being phased out, NSF then funded the NSFNET ; which served as the main US backbone for the Internet, until the US government disbanded it and allowed commercial Internet providers to fill the place.

		Describing the ARPANET's contribution to the development of the Internet, Robert Kahn, co-inventor of the TCP/IP protocol explains: "The ARPANET was helpful in that it demonstrated the power of networking even though for a single network and community.
		The ARPANET was a single network that linked heterogeneous computer systems into a resource sharing network, first within the U.S., and eventually it had tentacles to computer systems in other countries.(3) The ARPANET also supported the sharing of human resources and enabled people to interact.
		ARPANET's protocols were based on the diversity of networks." (pg 10, 26) (Oxford University Press, 2001) (2) See Michael Hauben, "Social Forces Behind the Development of Usenet" in Hauben and Hauben, Netizens.

	ARPANET Technical Overview
		The ARPANET was the first truly successful large scale packet-switched network.
		It's design was built around reliability and redundancy so as to allow communication to continue between major nodes in the case of an attack, but was not originally designed under the threat of nuclear war.
		The structure of the ARPANET logically appears as a layering of protocols.

	ARPANET, Internet
		The ARPANET was the first wide area packet switching network, the "Eve" network of what has evolved into the Internet we know and love today.
		The ARPANET was developed by the IPTO under the sponsorship of DARPA, and conceived and planned by Lick Licklider, Lawrence Roberts, and others as described earlier in this section.
		The fourth ARPANET site was added in December 1969 at the University of Utah Graphics Department, running on a DEC PDP-10 computer using the Tenex operating system.

		Once the educational system got word of the Arpanet, its ability, and its potential, they, along with the government had a new focus: To create a network that would allow users of a research computer at one university to be able to "talk to" research computers at other universities.
		A side benefit at the time was that, because messages could be routed or rerouted in more than one direction, the network could continue to function even if parts of it were destroyed in the event of a military attack or other disaster.
		The Internet, which followed the Arpanet as it moved beyond its defense research orientation, adopted local autonomy as a guiding principle, since by 1985 central control could no longer be envisaged.

	Short History of the Internet by Bruce Sterling
		Researchers were using ARPANET to collaborate on projects, to trade notes on work, and eventually, to downright gossip and schmooze.
		It wasn't long before the invention of the mailing-list, an ARPANET broadcasting technique in which an identical message could be sent automatically to large numbers of network subscribers.
		And ARPANET itself, though it was growing, became a smaller and smaller neighborhood amid the vastly growing galaxy of other linked machines.

		Even though this Rand work was based on this premise, the ARPANET and the Internet stemmed from the MIT work of Licklider, Kleinrock and Roberts, and had no relation to Baran's work.
		The ARPANET program as proposed to Congress by Roberts was to explore computer resource sharing and packet switched communications and had nothing to do with nuclear war or survivability.
		It was at this meeting that Wes Clark suggested the use of mini-computers for network packet switches instead of using the main frame computers themselves for switching.
