The [[IPTO|Information Processing Techniques Office]] (IPTO) funded research on advance computers and network technologies during the 1960s, which led to the development of [[ARPANET]], the first wide area packet switching network, or in simple words, the first Internet.<ref>[http://www.livinginternet.com/i/ii_arpanet.htm ARPANET-The First Internet]</ref>

It was in 1968, when the ARPANET research was in full progress wherein researchers and computer scientists met regularly to discuss the progress of their work, technical standards, Internet design and architecture, and many other aspects of computing and networking. The Group called themselves as the [[Network Working Group]]. It was in February of 1969 during a meeting in Utah with the BBN when the Network Working Group realized that they needed to start writing down their discussions.
