网络的简述 The NetWorks

网络的诞生
迄今为止，因特网的历史虽比较简短，但仍然是突破性的。在二十世纪六十年代，因特网是在美国国防部的实验中产生的。DOD希望发明一种计算机网络，它能在类似原子核战争的重大灾难中发挥作用。如果网络的一部分遭到损害，或者是毁灭性的破坏，那么系统的其它部分仍能正常工作。那个网络就是阿帕网，它连接到美国的科学和学术研究人员。阿帕网是我们今天所用网络是始祖。

Birth of the Net
The Internet has had a relatively brief, but explosive history so far. It grew out of an experiment begun in the 1960's by the U.S. Department of Defense. The DoD wanted to create a computer network that would continue to function in the event of a disaster, such as a nuclear war. If part of the network were damaged or destroyed, the rest of the system still had to work. That network was ARPANET, which linked U.S. scientific and academic researchers. It was the forerunner of today's Internet.
In 1985, the National Science Foundation (NSF) created NSFNET, a series of networks for research and education
