Detailed explanation-1: -NSFNET became the Internet backbone for government agencies and universities. The ARPANET project was formally decommissioned in 1990. The original IMPs and TIPs were phased out as the ARPANET was shut down after the introduction of the NSFNet, but some IMPs remained in service as late as July 1990.
Detailed explanation-2: -Also around this time, the ARPANET made several key steps away from its military origins. First, key military research sites were split off from the ARPANET to form a separate network called MILNET. Secondly, in 1984, the National Science Foundation (NSF) created a new network called the NSFNet.
Detailed explanation-3: -ARPAnet adopted the transmission control protocol (TCP) in1983 and separated out the military network (MILnet), assigning a subset for public research. Launched formally as the National Science Foundation Network (NSFNET) in 1985, engineers designed it to connect university computer science departments iacross the US.
Detailed explanation-4: -ARPANET, a project of the Department of Defense, was the network where the Internet protocol suite, TCP/IP, was developed and first used. NSFNET followed behind ARPANET and was designed as a network of research centers and supercomputers communicating over a TCP/IP network much as ARPANET before it.
