Paul Baran's concept of a distributed network and influence on architecture of the ARPANET

Baran worked for RAND not ARPA and his work predated the commencement of the ARPANET. However his model of a distributed network was highly influential on the design of the ARPANET. He served as a consultant to ARPA during the initial construction of the ARPANET.

Unlike ARPA, Baran was concerned with command and control and how a communication network could be resiliant enough to withstand nuclear conflict. He analysed the weaknesses in AT&T's telephone network.
