Exactly 30 years ago, on January 1, 1983, the basic foundation for the Internet was laid downWhat would the world be without the Internet? No Facebook, no Google and no e-mail? What would be the IT industry without the Internet? Exactly 30 years ago, on January 1, 1983, the Advanced Research Projects Agency Network (ARPANET) switched from using Network Control Protocol to Transmission Control Protocol and Internet Protocol or TCP /IP – the basic foundation or the backbone for the Internet.
While the ARPANET network began as a military project in the late 1960s, work on the TCP protocol began in 1973. The protocol was designed to replace the Network Control Protocol and was designed to avoid a single point of failure.
In 1973, work on the IPS and Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) technology began. The new systems were designed to replace the more vulnerable Network Control Program (NCP) used previously, and made sure the network was not exposed to a single point of failure. By January 1, 1983, the Internet, as we know today was born.
