The ARPANET used distributed computation and incorporated frequent re-computation of routing tables (automatic routing was technically challenging at the time). These features increased the survivability of the network in the event of significant interruption. Furthermore, the ARPANET was designed to survive subordinate network losses.
Steve Crocker (born 1944) has worked in the ARPANET and Internet communities since their inception. As a UCLA graduate student in the 1960s, he led the creation of the ARPANET host-to-host protocol, the Network Control Protocol. [91] He also created the Request for Comments (RFC) series, [92] authoring the very first RFC and many more. [93]
During the early 1970s, Crowther worked at defense contractor and internet-pioneer Bolt Beranek and Newman (BBN), where he was part of the original small ARPAnet development team. His implementation of a distributed distance vector routing system for the ARPAnet was an important early step in the evolution of the Internet.
Ethernet, which networks local computers within a building or campus; and PARC Universal Packet (PUP) an early protocol for internetworking that connected the Ethernet to the ARPANET, which was a forerunner to TCP/IP and the Internet. PUP was primarily designed by Robert Metcalfe, David Boggs, Charles P. Thacker, Butler Lampson and John Shoch.
Leonard Kleinrock was born in New York City on June 13, 1934, to a Jewish family, [3] and graduated from the noted Bronx High School of Science in 1951. He received a Bachelor of Electrical Engineering degree in 1957 from the City College of New York, and a master's degree and a doctorate (Ph.D.) in electrical engineering and computer science from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT ...
Joseph Carl Robnett Licklider (/ ˈ l ɪ k l aɪ d ər /; March 11, 1915 – June 26, 1990), known simply as J. C. R. or "Lick", was an American psychologist [3] and computer scientist who is considered to be among the most prominent figures in computer science development and general computing history.
The ARPAnet -- the precursor to the Internet -- came from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, better known as DARPA. The transformative invention is just one of many DARPA projects that ...
Peter Thomas Kirstein (né Kirschstein; 20 June 1933 – 8 January 2020) was a British computer scientist who played a role in the creation of the Internet. He made the first internetworking connection on the ARPANET in 1973, by providing a link to British academic networks, and was instrumental in defining and implementing TCP/IP alongside Vint Cerf and Bob Kahn.
