Comment on: Blog Post 'PACKET SWITCHING & THE ADVENT OF ARPANET': ers) is born “smart” enough to connect easily with the global network. This is possible because at the core of this worldwide infrastructure we call the Internet is a set of shared communication standards, procedures and formats called protocols. However, when in the early 1970s, the first four-nodes of the ARPANET became fully functional things were a bit more complicated. Exchanging data between different computers (let alone different computer networks) was not as easy as it is today. Finally, there was a reliable packet-switching network to connect to, but no universal language to communicate through it. Each host, in fact, had a set of specific protocols and to login users were required to know the host’s own ‘language’. Using ARPANET was like being given a telephone and unlimited credit only to find out that the only users we can call don’t speak our language. …; Added by Michael Grove at 22:15 on February 11, 2020

Comment on: Blog Post 'GRACE puts Bristol in the lead ....': vance of the first TEST COLOUR TRANSMISSIONS from the BBC • had himself been offered a job at Goonhilly Down, by GPO Telecommunications, well before researchers started to investigate packet switching • a technology that sends a message in portions to its destination asynchronously without passing it through a centralised mainframe • but having travelled there by train from where the family were living in Kentish Town, North London, he was unable to find somewhere for the family to live locally, and so could not take up the position that he had been offered. Thankfully not long after, the doctor who was attending Linnie’s brother Terry, who suffered terribly during the days of the smog in London, arranged for the family to move to their new home in Borehamwood. When I started training as an Air Traffic Controller, cutting my teeth so to speak, on the study of IBM 64K core-store mainframe systems analysis, as well as all things technologically related to primary and secondary radar systems, you can just imagine the conversations that I had with Ron, and not long after I had asked him for his daughter’s hand in marriage, that a telecommunications network protocol emerged which constituted the beginnings of the ARPANET, which by 1981 had grown to 213 nodes. ARPANET eventually merged with other networks to form the INTERNET and while Internet development was a focus of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) who published a series of Request for Comment documents, other networking advancement occurred in industrial laboratories, such as the local area network (LAN) developments of Ethernet (1983) and the Token Ring Protocol of 1984. …; Added by Michael Grove at 10:01 on June 27, 2022

Comment on: Blog Post 'ZERO to ZERO to ZERO to ZERO to 10,000 ZEROs': algorithm desert ants use to regulate foraging is like the Traffic Control Protocol (TCP) [updated with correct spelling] used to regulate data traffic on the internet. Both ant and human networks use positive feedback: either from acknowledgements that trigger the transmission of the next data packet, or from food-laden returning foragers that trigger the exit of another outgoing forager. This research led some to marvel at the ingenuity of ants, able to invent systems familiar to us: wow, ants have been using internet algorithms for millions of years! ( WIRED, too, flirted with the concept of “anternet” in its Jargon Watch column last year.) …; Added by Michael Grove at 12:10 on July 16, 2013
