DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) -which is an agency of the United States Department of Defense responsible for the development of new technologies for use by the military. Its original mission, established in 1958, was to prevent technological surprise like the launch of Sputnik, which signaled that the Soviets had beaten the U.S. into space. ARPANET (Advanced Research Projects Agency Network) which was one of the worlds first operational packet switching networks, the first network to implement TCP/IP, and the progenitor of what was to become the global Internet. RAND Corporation (Research And Development) -which is a nonprofit global policy think tank first formed to offer research and analysis to the United States armed forces by Douglas Aircraft Company.

-packet switching network (French pronunciation: [siklad]) was a French research network created in the early 1970s IMP (Interface Message Processor) -which was the packet-switching node used to interconnect participant networks to the ARPANET from the late 1960s to 1989. NCP (Network Control Program) - provided the middle layers of the protocol stack running on host computers of the ARPANET, the predecessor to the modern Internet. TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) -which is one of the core protocols of the Internet protocol suite (IP), and is so common that the entire suite is often called TCP/IP. Packet switching -which is a digital networking communications method that groups all transmitted data regardless of content, type, or structure into suitably sized blocks, called packets.
