In 1957, after the Soviet Union launch the first artificial Earth satellite, the U.S. defense Department considered[citation 991 day] that in case of war the United States needs a reliable system of information transmission. Agency for defense advanced research projects USA (DARPA) proposed to develop for this computer network. The development of such a network was entrusted to the University of California at Los Angeles, Stanford research center, University of Utah and the University of California in Santa Barbara. Computer network was named ARPANET (eng. Advanced Research Projects Agency Network), and in 1969 in the framework of the project the network has United four specified scientific institutions. All work was funded by the U.S. Department of defense. Then the network ARPANET started to grow and develop, it began to use scientists from different fields of science.
The first server ARPANET was installed September 2, 1969 at the University of California (Los Angeles). Computer Honeywell DP-516 had 24 KB of RAM[4].
On October 29, 1969 at 21:00 between the first two nodes of the network ARPANET, located at a distance of 640 km — University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) and Stanford research Institute (SRI) conducted the session. Charlie Klein (Charley Kline) trying to connect remotely from Los Angeles to a computer at Stanford. The successful transmission of each character typed his colleague bill Duvall (Bill Duvall)
from Stanford confirmed by phone.
