Not much to write at the moment, I’m bored and have engulfed myself in a new mission of research, I’ll explain more later, but thought I’d drop a lil blurb about 1.01.03<\/p>\n
The internet has officially celebrated its 20th birthday. <\/b><\/p>\n
On <\/b>1 January 1983<\/b> the Advanced Research Projects Agency Network (Arpanet) of the <\/b>US<\/b> Department of Defense – the forerunner of the internet – was switched to the TCP\/IP protocol. <\/b><\/p>\n
This enabled millions of computers to go online instead of the Network Control Protocol (NCP) which limited it to just 1,000 machines. <\/b><\/p>\n
The TCP\/IP protocol was designed by Vinton Cerf and Robert Kahn. <\/b><\/p>\n
On the mailing list of the Internet Engineering Task Force, internet pioneer Bob Braden wrote: “The most logical date of origin of the internet is <\/b>1 January 1983<\/b>, when the Arpanet officially switched from the NCP protocol to TCP\/IP. <\/b><\/p>\n
“Six months later, the Arpanet was split into the two subnets – Arpanet and Milnet [Military Network] – which were connected by internet gateways. <\/b><\/p>\n
“There may still be a few remaining T-shirts about that read: ‘I Survived the TCP\/IP Transition’.” <\/b><\/p>\n
Braden added that some people would be surprised to discover that there were actually a few souls wanting to work on the TCP\/IP changeover on 1 January. But they did.<\/strong><\/p>\n ?(original story <\/strong><\/font>vnunet<\/strong><\/font><\/a>)<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\nShare this:<\/h3>
