Added more information about ARPA.
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 an 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. Regardless of its initial gaps, the "packet-switching" test proved to be instrumental in the formation of ARPANET. <ref name="Hx of Internet" />

===First Nodes of ARPANET===
===ARPANET===
The Advanced Research Projects Agency Network (ARPANET) was a branch of the United State's military. It used the packet-switching method to transmit information between various 'nodes' across the country. It is considered to be a technical predecessor to the Internet. It was the first network to use TCP/IP, developed for [[Vint Cerf]] and [[Robert Kahn]].
The nodes were delegated one by one to different campuses located in the Western and Northeastern United States. This process began in 1969 when [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBN_Technologies BBN], a research and development firm based in Cambridge, Massachusetts, delivered the first Interface Message Processor, or [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interface_Message_Processor IMP]<ref name="Living Internet">http://www.livinginternet.com/i/ii_arpanet.htm.
