What was Milnet?
Milnet (military network) was the abbreviation given by this part of the Advanced Research Projects Agency Network (ARPANET) assigned to the United States Defense Ministry. Arpanet was the name of a given topography of a computer network that would later become what is known today as the Internet. In 1983, Arpanet and Milnet were divided so that the former was devoted to academic research, while the second would be used to transmit US military data. The system that dictates the domain names to the website - - the domain name system (DNS) - assigned the domain of the highest level (TLD) for use by the U.S. This network was originally a minute version of a massive connected network that we know today as a network. In 1969, Arpanet combined the University of California, Stanford and Utah and ensured simple switching of data around these sites or knots.
In 1983 was the number of nodes of Arpanet or points withBinding number 113. After the subsequent division of Arpanet/Milnet, but part of Milnet seized 65 nodes that it would devote to military data and which could better protect. This left Arpanet with 68 knots. The ARPANET and MILNET networks have retained a certain number of connectors known as gates, but it was little and easily disconnected, providing a Milnet network with a security provision that could be caused if the network was attacked or endangered.
Because he was in the progress he saw the arrival of the Internet, he realized that the potential for Milnet also realized the potential for massive connection. Originally the provision of the Conn for the Internet protocol (IP) voctivity among the different military bases of the United States at home and abroad, Milnet has been divided into several networks that are now known as the NIPRNET network (NIPPRET), secrets, formerly safe, SIPRNE network (SIPRnet) and Worldwide Intelligence Communications.
Today what was known as the Milnet network was included in Defense Data Network (DDN), and a section that was once known as Milnet is now known as Niprnet, a network that the United States Army uses to replace sensitive but unclassified data among internal users.
