ARPANET
1969 – 1990
Funded by ARPA
Connected Universities, Federally Funded and Private Research Labs, and DoD Labs and other Facilities
1983 Cutover from NCP to TCP/IP ARPANET split into ARPANET and MILNET

NSFnet
1985 – 1995
Started off connecting 5 Supercomputer Centers JvNSC, SDSC, NCSA, CTC, PSC
Grew to connect Universities and Regional Nets
Served as the Internet’s backbone
1995 Internet is served by multiple commercial backbones NSF shuts the NSFnet down

vBNS/vBNS+ 1995 – Today
vBNS comes up as the NSFnet goes offline Connects 5 Supercomputer Centers
CTC, NCAR, NCSA, PSC, SDSC And 4 NAPS: Ameritech, MFS, PacBell, Sprint
1997 vBNS’s role expanded to serve the Top 100 US Research
Universities
2000 NSF grants a 3-year no-cost (to NSF) extension of the
vBNS project
vBNS+ now serves R&E networking needs of several Federal agencies
USGS; NMCI; DREN
