 Fuzzball router - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fuzzball routers were the first modern routers on the Internet.
They were DEC LSI-11 computers loaded with router software written by David L. Mills (of the University of Delaware).
About fifty of them were deployed worldwide in the early 1980s to test many of the Internet's first protocols.

 The TCP/IP Guide - The HELLO Protocol (HELLO)
Similarly, router A receiving a HELLO message from Router B knows it can reach every destination that Router B can, but at an additional approximate cost of the computed delay for the link between Router A and Router B.
One of the key jobs of routers using HELLO is to compute the time delay to send and receive datagrams to and from its neighbors.
Router A using RIP receiving an RIP Response message from Router B knows it can reach every destination Router B can, but at a cost of one extra hop (the hop to go from Router A to Router B).

 The Fuzzball
Fuzzball is now in the Computing Dictionary and remembered in the NSF history archives.
Perhaps the best known role of the Fuzzball was as routers for the NSFNET Phase-I Backbone Network [2], which was deployed during the 1986-1988 time period.
Prototype versions of popular Internet tools, including Telnet, FTP, DNS, EGP and SMTP were first implemented and tested on the Fuzzball.

 Transition To Wide Spread Infrastructure Work At Home Business Ideas, Home Based Business Opportunities, Career, ...
The backbone had made the transition from a network built from routers out of the research community (the "Fuzzball" routers from David Mills) to commercial equipment.
The funds thereby recovered were (competitively) redistributed to regional networks to buy national-scale Internet connectivity from the now numerous, private, long-haul networks.
