After much work, the first two nodes of what would become the ARPANET were interconnected between web hosting UCLA's School of Engineering and Applied Science and SRI International (SRI) in Menlo Park, California, on October 29, 1969. The ARPANET was one of the "eve" networks of today's Internet. Following the demonstration wireless internet providers that packet switching worked on the ARPANET, the British Post Office, Telenet, DATAPAC and TRANSPAC dedicated servers collaborated to create the first international packet-switched network service.
