ARPANET, or the Advanced Research Projects Agency Network, was an early packet-switching network commissioned by the U.S. Department of Defense's Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) in the late 1960s. It played a crucial role in the development of modern computer networking and is considered one of the precursors to the internet. The project was initiated to enable multiple computers to communicate on a single network, facilitating resource sharing and collaboration among researchers at various institutions.
