Study Notes
Paul Baran and Distributed Communication Networks
- Paul Baran published a paper in 1964 on Distributed Communication Networks.
- This theoretical paper laid the foundation for data transfer by introducing:
- Decentralization of data storage: Data could be stored in multiple locations
- Data packets as units of transfer: Breaking data into small packets allowed for efficient transmission
- Multiple routes for data transfer: This ensured data delivery even if some routes were disrupted
NCP Protocol & Early Data Transfer
- A protocol is a set of rules that enables communication.
- The Network Control Protocol (NCP) was developed in the 1970s.
- NCP became the first standard protocol for data transfer.
