The first computer network	Arpanet
	The idea of ARPANET, one of the earliest computer networks, was proposed by Leonard Kleinrock in 1961, in his paper titled "Information Flow in Large Communication Nets."

The first concept of “packet”	“Packet”
	The term "packet" was coined by Donald Davies in 1965, to describe data sent between computers over a network. A packet contains source, destination, data, size, and other useful information that helps packet make it to the appropriate location and are reassembled properly.

	An experimental VoIP call was made in 1973, officially introducing VoIP technology and capabilities. However, the first software allowing users to make VoIP calls was not available until 1995.
	Bob McAuley, Ed Hofstetter, and Charlie Radar	1973	United States	Develop the first voice packet over ARPANET
The first router	Router
	The first routers were used at Xerox in 1974. However, these first routers were not considered true IP routers.
		1974		Router Developed
The first true IP router	Router
	Ginny Strazisar developed the first true IP router, originally called a gateway, in 1976.
	Ginny Strazisar	1976	United States	Develop router
The first TCP/IP protocol	TCP(Transmission Control Protocol) / IP(Internet Protocol)
	Bob Kahn invented the TCP/IP protocol for networks and developed it, with help from Vint Cerf, in 1978.
	Bohn Kahn and Vint Cerf	1978	United States	Invent TCP / IP
The first IPv4	Internet Protocol version 4
	Internet Protocol version 4, or IPv4, was officially defined in RFC 791 in 1981. IPv4 was the first major version of the Internet protocol.
	DARPA	1981	United States	Develop IPv4
The first BITNET	BITNET
	BITNET was created in 1981 as a network between IBM mainframe systems in the United States.
