Main Personalities in Module ii:
J.C.R. Licklider, the Director of the Information Processing Techniques Office (IPTO)
in ARPA during the years 1962- 1964. The main impact Licklider had on ARPA is
promoting time-sharing as a basis for interactive computing.
Bob Taylor a new Director in 1965 of IPTO after Licklider left IPTO.
Lawrence Roberts from MIT: A talented programmer from ARPA’s managing
networking project. His view the network topology: every node is connected to all other
nodes over dialup telephone lines.
Network topology was discussed in conference in Gatlinburg-Tennessee on which the
term ARPANET was heard for the first time.
Paul Baran who was notions of network decentralization and redundancy at that time
he works in RAND Corporation.
Vint Cerf and Jon Postel: Two of the key people in this development were method
(RFCs) to evolve a whole set of protocols for the new network.
Ray Tomlinson: BBN hacker the person how first used the symbol “@” to separate the
senders name from the network-ID.
Vinton Cerf and Robert Kahn: They developed the necessary protocols are TCP and
IP.
