Detailed explanation-1: -Dr. Howard Frank co-wrote a proposal that won the 1969 contract to design the network structure for the ARPAnet. He also conducted the original topological analysis for the ARPAnet, evaluating the network’s performance and reliability, and studied how the technology could be applied to the larger world.
Detailed explanation-2: -The origins of topology date back to the eighteenth century and the Königsberg Bridge Problem, a problem of relative position without regard to distance. While this problem is often regarded as the birth of graph theory, it also inspired Euler’s development of the topology of networks.
Detailed explanation-3: -The precursor of today’s Internet, ARPANET was created by the US Department of Defense in 1969. However, it was in France and in Inria’s laboratories that some of the basics of the packet-switching protocol were invented four years later.
