1) The internet originated when the United States formed the Defence Advanced Research Project Agency (DARPA) secure their lead technology. They developed what was known as ARPANET, which was a large scale computer network to transfer information. Three other network concepts was developed: RAND Corporation (military network), National Physical Laboratory (commercial network) and Cyclades (scientific network). All four of those network concepts were the origin of the internet.
2) The people who were responsible for creating the internet was DARPA, RAND Corporation, National Physical Laboratory and Cyclades.
3) The system that immediately preceded the internet was ARPANET. It was created for the purpose of information tranfer and to avoid doubling up of already existing research.
4) An IP Packet is a formatted unit of data that is sent through a packet mode computer network. Data is formatted into packets to avoid congestion when being transferred from computer to computer. IP Packets are comprised of a header and payload(user data).
5) TCP stands for Transmission Control Protocol. It uses a sequence number to identify every byte of data. It distinguishes the order of each byte as they are sent from a computer so that they can be transferred reliably. By doing so, lost packets can be identified and retransmitted by the sender.
