  1. Chapter 9 - A Decade Of Incredible Growth • Introduction • Disseminating The Software • Meanwhile, Back In Computer Science [Bell labs - UNIX] -> U.C. Berkeley • The Internet Meets UNIX • Computer science departments in universities received TCP/IP software along with a release of UNIX system software from U.C. Berkeley. Although only a few departments had computers connected to the Internet, most of them used TCP/IP on their LANs for teaching, research and production computing.

  2. Chapter 9 - A Decade Of Incredible Growth • The U.S. Military Makes A Commitment • Although the U.S. military funded Internet research and eventually chose to use the Internet, internetworking was developed and tested at civilian sites. • The Internet Doubles In Size In One Year • As new computers were added to the Internet, it doubled in size in a single year. The rapid growth forced researchers to tune administrative procedures as well as the software. • Every Computer Science Department [NSF -> Computer Science Network project (CSNET)] • Graduate Students Volunteer Their Time • The IAB [Internet Activities Board] evolves (became part of the Internet Society in 1992)

  3. Chapter 9 - A Decade Of Incredible Growth • The IEFT[Internet Engineering Task Force] • The group responsible for guiding the research and development of the Internet is known as the Internet Architecture Board. The primary subgroup responsible for technical matters is known as the Internet Engineering Task Force • Doubling Again in a Year • The Internet Improves Science • NSF Takes A Leadership Role • Target: All Of Science and Engineering • NSF decided that to keep the U.S. competitive, it needed to extend network access to every science and engineering researcher

  4. Chapter 9 - A Decade Of Incredible Growth • NSF's Approach • The NSFNET Backbone • The ANS (Advanced Networks and Services) Backbone [IBM, MERIT, and MCI] • Exponential Growth • By early 1997, the Internet was growing so fast that on the average, a new computer was added to the Internet every four seconds and the rate continues to increase. • At any time from 1983 to 1996, approximately half of the Internet growth occurred in the previous 12 to 14 months. • A Commercial Assessment • The End Of Growth [Current Internet technology can connect a maximum of 4,294,967,296 computers]

  5. Chapter 9 - A Decade Of Incredible Growth • Terms • exponential growth • IAB • IETF • Internet Society • NSF • UNIX
