mentions 3 links between LBL and Arpanet:
- In 1974, the Lab’s CDC 6600 became the first online supercomputer when it was connected
to ARPANET, the Internet’s predecessor.
- In 1986, when the Internet was on the verge of collapse from congestion, a Berkeley Lab
researcher, Van Jacobson, co-developed the congestion control algorithms that allowed the
Internet to keep growing.
- In 1995, Jacobson and Steven McCanne developed MBone, the first successful software for
multiparty audio and video conferencing over the Internet.
