Tomorrow (Sept. 2) it will be 35 years since IMP #1 was plugged in at Len Kleinrock's lab at UCLA. Happy Birthday! Peter
I wonder if that was the same IMP that was gathering dust in a corner of the student/staff lounge in Boelter Hall at UCLA? I used to see it when I would pass by there on my way to the library 20 years ago... Joe On 9/1/04 1:40 PM, "Peter H Salus" <peter@netpedant.com> wrote:

It would seem to have been made before the days of Visio... |8^) http://www.neebu.net/~khuon/humour/images/1969_2-node_map.gif -- /*===================[ Jake Khuon <khuon@NEEBU.Net> ]======================+ | Packet Plumber, Network Engineers /| / [~ [~ |) | | --------------- | | for Effective Bandwidth Utilisation / |/ [_ [_ |) |_| N E T W O R K S | +=========================================================================*/
Jake, The diagram was attributed to Vint Cerf by Alex McKenzie, who allowed me to copy it for "Casting the Net" (1995). It's on p. 55. Peter
Here's the answer, and a photo of the IMP. http://www.lk.cs.ucla.edu/LK/Inet/birth.html -----Original Message----- From: owner-nanog@merit.edu [mailto:owner-nanog@merit.edu]On Behalf Of Iljitsch van Beijnum Sent: Wednesday, September 01, 2004 6:20 PM To: Peter H Salus Cc: nanog@merit.edu Subject: Re: IMP #1 On 1-sep-04, at 22:40, Peter H Salus wrote:

Well, one IMP does not a network make... When did they connect the second one?
Gee whiz! IMP #5 went to BBN; #6 to MIT; #7 to RAND; #8 to SDC; #9 to Harvard; IMP #10 went to Lincoln Lab in Oct., 1970; #11 went to Stanford U. Peter
