A pioneering network of Advanced Research Projects Agency computers under the authority of the U.S. Department of Defense. Predecessor to the Internet, ARPANET was an experimental network developed in the late 1960s by the U.S. Department of Defense to create a communications link which would enable ARPA scientists and research contractors to share their resources and ideas. The network was designed to survive breakdowns along any of its connections, in case of a nuclear attack, through use of individual packet switching computers interconnected by leased lines. If a connection broke down, the packets could be automatically re-routed.
