1979 USENET USENET, a "poor man’s ARPANET," is created by Tom Truscott, Jim Ellis, and Steve Belovin to share information via e-mail and message boards between Duke University and the University of North Carolina, using dial-up telephone lines and the UUCP protocols in the Berkeley UNIX distributions. 1980 TCP/IP standard adopted U.S. Department of Defense adopts the TCP/IP (transmission control protocol/internet protocol) suite as a standard. 1981 NSF and DARPA establish ARPANET nodes NSF and DARPA agree to establish ARPANET nodes at the University of Wisconsin at Madison, Purdue University, the University of Delaware, BBN, and RAND Corporation to connect ARPANET to CSNET sites on a commercial network called Telenet using TCP/IP. 1982 ARPANET hosts convert to new TCP/IP protocols All hosts connected to ARPANET are required to convert to the new TCP/IP protocols by January 1, 1983. The interconnected TCP/IP networks are generally known as the Internet.
1983 UNIX scientific workstation introduced Sun Microsystems introduces its UNIX scientific workstation. TCP/IP, now known as the Internet protocol suite, is included, initiating broad diffusion of the Internet into the scientific and engineering research communities. 1983 UNIX scientific workstation introduced Sun Microsystems introduces its UNIX scientific workstation.

It organizes the research community into task forces on gateway algorithms, new end-to-end service, applications architecture and requirements, privacy, security, interoperability, robustness and survivability, autonomous systems, tactical interneting, and testing and evaluation. One of the task forces, soon known as "Internet Engineering," deals with the Internet’s operational needs. 1983 The Internet ARPANET, and all networks attached to it, officially adopts the TCP/IP networking protocol. From now on, all networks that use TCP/IP are collectively known as the Internet. The number of Internet sites and users grow exponentially. 1984 Advent of Domain Name Service The advent of Domain Name Service, developed by Paul Mockapetris and Craig Partridge, eases the identification and location of computers connected to ARPANET by linking unique IP numerical addresses to names with suffixes such as .mil, .com, .org, and .edu. 1985 NSF links five supercomputer centers across the country NSF links scientific researchers to five supercomputer centers across the country at Cornell University, University of California at San Diego, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center, and Princeton University. Like CSNET, NSFNET employs TCP/IP in a 56-kilobits-per-second backbone to connect them.
1986 Internat Engineering Task Force expands The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) expands to reflect the growing importance of operations and the development of commercial TCP/IP products. It is an open informal international community of network designers, operators, vendors, and researchers interested in the evolution of the Internet architecture and its smooth operation. 1986 Internat Engineering Task Force expands The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) expands to reflect the growing importance of operations and the development of commercial TCP/IP products.

At DARPA's request, Dan Lynch organizes the first Interop conference for information purposes and to bring vendors together to test product interoperability. 1987 High-speed national research network NSF convenes the networking community in response to a request by Senator Gore to examine prospects for a high-speed national research network. Gordon Bell at NSF reports to the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) on a plan for the National Research and Education Network. Presidential Science Advisor Allan Bromley champions the high-performance computing and communications initiatives that eventually implement the networking plans. 1987 Internet of administratively independent connected TCP/IP networks emerges As the NSFNET backbone becomes saturated, NSF plans to increase capacity, supports the creation of regional networks, and initiates a program to connect academic institutions, which invest heavily in campus area networks. The Internet of administratively independent connected TCP/IP networks emerges.
1988 NSFNET contract awarded An NSFNET contract is awarded to the team of IBM and MCI, led by Merit Network, Inc. The initial 1.5-megabits-per-second NSFNET is placed in operation. 1988 NSFNET contract awarded An NSFNET contract is awarded to the team of IBM and MCI, led by Merit Network, Inc.
