IPM enabled computers to interact with other computers from other packet-switched networks (known today as a LAN – Local Area Network).
“One of the first LAN technologies was ARCNET (Attached Resource Computer NETwork), it was developed by DataPoint Corporation in 1976 and first commercial installation was in December 1977 at Chase Manhattan Bank in New York”. (DIGITAL HISTORY, 1995)
Another LAN technology that was widely used is Token ring, in token ring technology all of the entities are logically organized in a ring topology and special three-bye frame is passed around the ring and possession of the token will grant you permission to transmit on the medium.

The paper must be written in formal APA style, must be at least 8 pages of content in addition to a title page, abstract, table of contents, and citations page. Make sure you use descriptive headings within the content area.
Your paper should include how the Internet was invented and evolved over time. Include ARPANET and all of the events on a timeline up to today, and you must describe the events in a way that a non-technical peson might understand. The networking protocols must be discussed, discuss Internet2 and it 's relationship to the conventional Internet.
You must attach your paper as an MSWord doc file (not docx) to the link provided. Anyone submitting in any other format will receive no credit.
Note that strict APA citation format is required. That means that any material that is not your own must be cited within the test area.
