  2. ARPAnet • Sponsor: Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (US) • Backbone Network speed: 64Kbits/second • Years: 1969 to 1988 • Purpose: connection of govt. labs and major research institutes/universities. • Major achievements: • TCP/IP, Domain Name Service, e-mail (SMTP), FTP, Telnet, USENET newsgroups, computer-computer communications, etc. Introduction to Internet & Web

  3. NSFnet • Sponsor: National Science Foundation (US) • Backbone Network speed: T1 (1.5mb/sec.) to T3 (45mb/sec.) • Years: 1984 – 1994 • Replaced ARPAnet as the backbone of Internet in 1990 • Purpose: connection of five supercomputer centres Introduction to Internet & Web

  4. Post NSFnet Developments • Privately-funded, interconnected backbone networks. • Internet2: funded by US universities, a sequel to NSFnet. Introduction to Internet & Web
