It wasn't until [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leonard_Kleinrock Leonard Kleinrock] pursued the feasibility of [[packet switching]] a method of delivery that sends information in small packets, or portions through different routes, that the idea gained traction in a concrete manner. Kleinrock, along with a few other colleagues conducted a small experiment including two computers used at different geographic points, one in Massachusetts and one in California. Using a low-speed dial-up line, the researchers developed a connection, testing the packet transmission. The experiment was a minor success, scientists in Stanford received the 'L' and 'O' of 'LOGIN', and the transmission crashed ARPA's fragile network. <ref name="Hx of Internet" /> | It wasn't until [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leonard_Kleinrock Leonard Kleinrock] pursued the feasibility of [[packet switching]] a method of delivery that sends information in small packets, or portions through different routes, that the idea gained traction in a concrete manner.
