===ARPANET===

The Advanced Research Projects Agency Network ([[ARPANET]]) was a branch of the United ~~State~~'s military and earliest iteration of the Internet. It used a packet-switching method to transmit information between various 'nodes' across the country via an IMP or Interface Message Processor. It was also the first network to use [[TCP/IP]], developed by [[Vint Cerf]] and [[Robert Kahn]].
