There is no need to be mourning. (D)ARPA did a great service to the networking
community over the last many years in developing and providing a research
facility that emerged into operational infrastructure. Many spinoffs were
created, both in the government (including your NASA Science Network) as
well as other places, including internationally. As we all know, DARPA is
still continuing to do network research, that should yield further results
and benefits to the networking community. There have never been more users
and equipment using technology developed for the ARPANET than there are today.
The ideas, the spirit and the technological thrust of the ARPANET is surviving
in its children. At DARPA and elsewhere.
