ABriefHistoryoftheInternet

In1969,theUSDefenseAdvancedResearchProjectsAgency(DARPA)fundedaprojectincomputingresourcesharingtermedtheARPANET.ARPANETconsistedofmultiplyconnected,high-bandwidth(56Kbps)linksbetweengovernment,academicandindustriallaboratories.

Duringthe1970sDARPAwasthechieffundingbodyforpacketswitchingnetworksusingdiversetechnologies,suchasmobileradiotransmittersandsatellitelinks.Bythemid1970sresearchconcentratedonaframeworkfortheARPANET.By1979theTransmissionControlProtocol/InternetProtocol(TCP/IP)wasrunningexclusivelyoverARPANET.

TheTCP/IPProtocolArchitecture

TheTCP/IPprotocolsuiteisbasedontheviewthatcommunicationinvolvesthreeagents:networks(whichcontainhosts),hosts(whichrunprocesses),andprocesses(whichgenerateandconsumedata).

Therefore,anetworkneedonlybeconcernedaboutroutingdatabetweenhostsaslongasthehostsagreehowtogetdatatoindividualprocesses.

Withthisinmind,theTCP/IParchitectureorganizesprotocolsintofourlayers(sometextsargueforafive-layermodel,inwhichtheProcess/Applicationlayerissplitintwo,withwell-understoodapplicationsformingthefifthlayer).

Protocolsinthenetworkaccesslayerroutedatabetweenhosts(physically)attachedinthesamenetwork.

Protocolsintheinternetlayerroutedataacrossmultiple(possiblydissimilar)networksandhosts.

Internetlayerprotocolsareimplementedinbothhostsandgateways-whereagatewayisunderstoodtoconnecttwonetworksandmustrelaydatabetweenbothnetworks,bothusinganInternetprotocol.

TraditionalClass-basedIPVersion4Addressing

IfeverydevicewasaccessibleovertheglobalInternet,eachdevicewouldrequireitsownuniqueaddress(worldwide);eachaddressconsistsofanetwork'portion'andalocal'portion'.Thenetwork'portions'areassignedbythecentralDARPAauthority.

Asacompromise,Internetaddressingschemesaccommodatebothlargeandsmallnetworktopologies.

Moreover,class-basedaddressesareself-describing.
