History Of The Internet
How did the Internet originate?
The Internet was created through the Defence Advanced Research Project Agency (DARPA) as they wanted to create a network that was able to quickly transfer information instead of having to send people to journey on and deliver messages. DARPA later joined forces with other corporations such as The RAND Corporation, The National Physical Laboratory (NPL) and CYCLADES, to link networks and create the Internet.
Who were the people most responsible for creating it?
The Defence Advanced Research Project Agency (DARPA), the military corporation called the RAND Corporation, the commercial network of the National Physical Laboratory (NPL) and the scientific network of CYCLADES, created the Internet.
What system immediately preceded the Internet? What was it’s purpose?
The Arpanet was the system before the Internet and was created for the purpose of transferring knowledge and intelligence from one place to another by DARPA.
What is an IP packet? What is it comprised of?
An IP packet is a packet of information that is being transferred through a network. It is split into smaller parts to avoid congestion on the networks that the computers are operating on and are assembled at the receiving end. Some IP packets don't travel along the same route as the others but still end up at the same destination.
What does TCP stand for? How does TCP deal with lost IP packets?
The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) controls the IP packets over the Internet in various ways from file size, the rate at which packets are exchanged to the network congestion. The TCP also deals with lost packets that may have been caused by an error over the network. The TCP uses a sequence number to track all packets, but when a packet is lost during transmission the TCP allows for the sender to re-transmit the data over the network to be correctly assembled and opened at the receiving end.
