Historical Note

Funded by the United States Department of Defense, the Advanced Research Projects Agency Network (ARPANET) was launched in 1969. The University of Utah's interface message processor run by Ivan Sutherland was one of the program's four original IMPs. The first operational packet switching network, ARPANET helped to lay the foundation for future data communications, including the internet. The project was formally decommissioned in 1990.
