1. What is the meaning of the acronym ARPANET?

The Advanced Research Projects Agency Network (ARPANET) was the first
wide-area packet-switching network with distributed control and the first
network to implement the TCP/IP protocol suite.

2. What is the main function of a SWITCH on a network?

The basic function that any switch is supposed to perform is to receive
information from any source connected to it and dispatch that information to the
appropriate destination only. This thing differentiates switches from hubs. Hub
gets the information and forwards that to every other device in the network.

3. Define backbone
A portion of a computer network that is capable of carrying the majority of traffic
on the network at high speeds. The backbone often connects large networks or
companies together.

4. It is Ethernet an invent? Define it

Ethernet is a way of connecting computers together in a local area network or
LAN. It has been the most widely used method of linking computers together in
LANs since the 1990s. The basic idea of its design is that multiple computers
have access to it and can send data at any time.
Ethernet is a fast and reliable network solution that is still widely used today.

5. A protocol is a set of rules, based on this premise What is TCP/IP?

Transmission control protocol/Internet protocol, TCP/IP is a set of rules
(protocols) governing communications among all computers on the Internet.
More specifically, TCP/IP dictates how information should be packaged (turned
into bundles of information called packets), sent, and received, as well as how
to get to its destination.

6. What is the SSL protocol?

The Secure Sockets Layer(SSL) it's the standard technology for keeping an
internet connection secure and safeguarding any sensitive data that is being
sent between two systems, preventing criminals from reading and modifying
any information transferred, including potential personal details.

HTML
In 1990, while working at CERN, Tim Berners-Lee develops HTML, which

and published online on August 6, 1991.

2) Still - make or become still; quieten.

TCP/IP is created
In 1978, TCP splits into TCP/IP, driven by Danny Cohen, David Reed, and
John Shoch to support realtime traffic. The creation of TCP/IP help create
UDP and is later standardized into ARPANET on January 1, 1983. Today,
TCP/IP is still the primary protocol used on the Internet.

3) Suggest – put forward for consideration.

TIMELINE
1962 Paul Baran suggested transmission of data using fixed size message

5) Submit - present (a proposal, application, or other document) to a person or
