ARPANET (Advanced Research Projects Agency Network) was the network that became the basis for the Internet. It was developed by ARPA (Advanced Research Projects Agency) of the United States Department of Defense. This network is based on packet switching, as opposed to circuit switching and was the world’s first operational network with that context.
