Securing Next Generation Internet Services

First Generation Internet was the data communication protocol for researchers – it was born on 1969 with RFC1 (Crocker S. 1969) which was entitled “Host Software” and dealt with Interface Message Processor (IMP) and Host-to-Host protocols. The IMP was the packet-switching node used to interconnect participant networks to the ARPANET from the late 1960s to 1989. IMP was the first generation of gateways, which are known today as routers. Some literatures state though – Internet was born on 1972 when Larry Roberts and Bob Kahn demonstrated the ARPANET at the International Conference on Computer Communication (ICCC) held in Washington, DC, in October 1972. This generation of Interne was used by the research community. These days, people in the industry were using their own proprietary protocols like System Network Architecture (SNA), DECnet etcetera. Second generation Internet was the generic data communication protocol; it can be timed at 1989 when inter-domain routing was included in the Internet with specifications like Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) protocol (RFC1131), the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) (RFC1105), with IP Multicasting (RFC1112). These protocols helped quick acceptance of Internet – Australia, Germany, Israel, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand and the United Kingdom joined the Internet (Internet History 2010).
