Basics of Networking
Networking began its infancy in the mid -1960’s.
by the US Department of Defence (DoD).
The original intention of networking was being
developed to withstand a nuclear war.
Telephone networks were to vulnerable and would
terminate all conversations should a nuclear war
occur.
You wake up at 3 a.m. to go to the bathroom and
stop and check your e-mail on the way back to bed.
WE ARE DEALING WITH MACHINES INSTEAD OF
PEOPLE IN TODAY’S WORLD. OUR PRIVACY IS
AFFECTED AND ALMOST ALL OF OUR PERSONAL
INFORMATION CAN BE FOUND IN
THE “VIRTUAL WORLD” .
ARPA (Advanced Research Projects Agency)
was created in response with the launching of the Sputnik in 1957.
ARPA decided that a DoD network should be packet-
switched networked consisting of a subnet and
host computers.
Experimental network research was awarded to
UCLA, UCSB, SRI and Univ. of Utha in 1969. These
areas were because they all had a large number
of ARPA contracts.
