ARPANET
Promoted to the head of the information processing office at ARPA,
Robert Taylor intended to realize Licklider's ideas of an interconnected
networking system. Bringing in Larry Roberts from MIT, he initiated a
project to build such a network. The first ARPANET link was
established between the University of California, Los Angeles and the
Stanford Research Institute on 21 November 1969. By 5 December
1969, a 4-node network was connected by adding the
University of Utah and the University of California, Santa Barbara.
Building on ideas developed in ALOHAnet, the ARPANET started in
1972 and was growing rapidly by 1981. The number of hosts had
grown to 213, with a new host being added approximately every twenty
days.
