Telematics Chapter 6: Network Layer - Freie Universität Berlin

From the ARPANET to the Internet
● 1983 TCP/IP became the official protocol of ARPANET
● ARPANET was connected with many other USA networks
● Intercontinental connecting with networks in Europe, Asia, Pacific
● The total network evolved this way to a world-wide available network
(called “Internet”) and gradually lost its early militarily dominated
character
● No central administrated network, but a world-wide union from many
individual, different networks under local control (and financing)
● 1990 the Internet consisted of 3,000 networks with 200,000 computers.
That was however only the beginning of a rapid evolution
