I went to UCLA this week to check out all the roaming robots!

Actually, this week, I had a great opportunity to speak and collaborate at the same table with an Internet Reslience workshop with Steve Crocker and Vint Cerf at UCLA…

which was literally 1 block away from where the Internet was born!

and I got to meet Leonard Kleinrock who shared and discussed the mathmetical algorithm he created for packet routing.

you can see the original routes and connections that spawned after the first packet was sent from UCLA to Stanford.

and see the first IMP system to send a packet on the Internet!

It was saved and the only other one is in the computer history museum,

It almost looks like a modern rack doesn’t it?

with original chassis and boards built by Honeywell.

If you do not believe me, you can double check the government serial number 🙂

and even check out the log book entries when the first activities and (first buffer overrun crash) occured on the Internet!
