The ARPANET was established by the Advanced Research Projects Agency (now DARPA) of the United States Department of Defense. [1] Building on the ideas of J. C. R. Licklider, Bob Taylor initiated the ARPANET project in 1966 to enable resource sharing between remote computers. [2] Taylor appointed Larry Roberts as program manager.
[30] [31] The ARPANET, funded by the United States Department of Defense for research into computer resource sharing, connected two packet switches (Interface Message Processors) on November 21, 1969, between Stanford and UCLA. It was opened to non-military users later in the 1970s including many universities.
MILNET was physically separated from the ARPANET in 1983. [3] The ARPANET remained in service for the academic research community, but direct connectivity between the networks was severed for security reasons. Gateways relayed electronic mail between the two networks.
The first theoretical foundation of packet switching was the work of Paul Baran, at RAND, in which data was transmitted in small chunks and routed independently by a method similar to store-and-forward techniques between intermediate networking nodes. [13] [14] [15] Davies independently arrived at the same model in 1965 and named it packet ...
On the ARPANET, the protocols in the physical layer, the data link layer, and the network layer used within the network were implemented on separate Interface Message Processors (IMPs). The host usually connected to an IMP using another kind of interface, with different physical, data link, and network layer specifications.
ARPANET development began with two network nodes which were interconnected between the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and the Stanford Research Institute (now SRI International) on 29 October 1969. [28] The third site was at the University of California, Santa Barbara, followed by the University of Utah. In a sign of future growth ...

By 1973-4, researchers in France, the United States, and the United Kingdom had worked out an approach to internetworking where the differences between network protocols were hidden by using a common internetwork protocol, and instead of the network being responsible for reliability, as in the ARPANET, the hosts became responsible, as ...
