Advanced Research Projects Agency Network
<networking> (ARPANET) A pioneering longhaul wide area network funded by
DARPA (when it was still called "ARPA"?). It became operational in 1968 and
served as the basis for early networking research, as well as a central backbone
during the development of the Internet. The ARPANET consisted of individual
packet switching computers interconnected by leased lines. Protocols used
include FTP and telnet. It has now been replaced by NSFnet.
