Learn from the US DoD about the internet 2006 May 23 20:26
Posted by diamond in : Random , 3 commentsI just came across the Department of Defence Network Information Center faq. It’s distinctly… retro. It refers to BITNET (which waned quickly after the early 90’s) as a competing network to the internet. It claims “The three main protocols in the TCP/IP suite are SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol), FTP (File Transfer Protocol), and the TELNET Protocol.”. Other gems are “The World Wide Web (WWW), commonly called “the web” , is a project initiated by the European Laboratory for Particle Physics (CERN), located in Switzerland.”. Oh the nostalgia.
