History of the Internet - Definition of Internet

Internet history - Understanding the Internet - Internet and its history is inseparable from the establishment of a computer network that carried out by the U.S. Department of Defense in 1969, through a project called ARPANET ARPA (Advanced Research Project Agency Network), which is a blend mendomonstrasikan Hardware and Software with UNIX-based computers, communication distance can be done with no limit to the infinite through the phone line.




ARPANET and then design a network with the reliability of the information technology that can move large amounts of data and in a short time, and set as a standard construction of a new protocol that is currently known as TCP / IP (Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol) and this is the beginning of every a well-known internet history to date.The initial purpose of the project was built for military purposes. At that time the United States Department of Defense (U.S. Department of Defense) create a system of computer networks to connect computers scattered in areas vital to address the problem in case of nuclear attack and to avoid centralized information, which in the event of war can easily be destroyed.At first ARPANET link is only four sites are the Stanford Research Institute, University of California, Santa Barbara, University of Utah, where they form an integrated network in 1969, and in general the ARPANET was introduced in October 1972. Not long after the project is growing rapidly throughout the region, and all universities in the country wants to join, thus making it difficult to set the ARPANET.Therefore, ARPANET split widened two, namely "MILNET" for military purposes and the "ARPANET" new smaller for non-military purposes, such as universities. Combined both networks eventually known as DARPA Internet, which then reduces to the Internet
