Kleinrock and the first IMP. Taken from http://www.lk.cs.ucla.edu/personal_history.htmlThe Interface Message Processor (IMP) was the packet-switching node used to connect computers to the original ARPANET in the late 1960s and 1970s. To connect to the ARPANET, host computers communicated with IMPs using a special high-speed bit-serial interface. The IMP itself was a Honeywell DDP-516 mini-computer with special-purpose interfaces and software.
IMPs are the ancestor of modern Internet routers.
