 Tarihi 
An kawo na'urar sadarwa ta ARPANET ta farko, wato Interface Message Processor, zuwa UCLA a ranar 30 ga Agusta, 1969, kuma an fara amfani da ita a ranar 29 ga Oktoba, 1969.

Donald Davies ne ya fara gabatar da ra'ayoyin sauya wurin amfani da manhaja da kwamfuta mai amfani da intanet a shekarar 1966 don hanyar sadarwa ta NPL. Wesley Clark ne ya fara tunanin wannan ra'ayin a shekara mai zuwa don amfani da shi a cikin ARPANET, waɗanda aka sanya wa suna Interface Message Processors (IMPs). An aiwatar da kwamfutar mai amfani da intanet ta farko a dakin gwaje-gwaje na jiki na ƙasa a Burtaniya a farkon 1969, sannan daga baya a wannan shekarar ta hannun IMPs a Jami'ar California, Los Angeles, Cibiyar Bincike ta Stanford, Jami'ar California, Santa Barbara, da Makarantar Kwamfuta ta Jami'ar Utah a Amurka. Duk an gina su ne da Honeywell 516. Waɗannan kwamfutocin suna da aiki iri ɗaya kamar yadda na'urar sadarwa ke yi a yau.

Ra'ayin na'urar sadarwa (wanda ake kira ƙofa a lokacin) ya samo asali ne daga ƙungiyar masu bincike kan hanyoyin sadarwa na kwamfuta ta duniya da ake kira International Network Working Group (INWG). Waɗannan na'urorin ƙofa sun bambanta da yawancin tsarin sauya fakiti na baya ta hanyoyi biyu.

An yi bincike kan wannan ra'ayi a aikace ta ƙungiyoyi daban-daban, da nufin samar da tsarin aiki don yin aiki ta intanet. Akwai shirye-shirye uku masu shahara a wannan zamani. Na farko shine aiwatarwa da Louis Pouzin na cibiyar sadarwar CYCLADES ya jagoranta, wanda aka tsara kuma aka haɓaka a tsakanin 1972-3.

A ƙarshen 1976, na'urori uku masu amfani da hanyar sadarwa ta PDP-11 suna aiki a cikin gwajin Intanet na Intanet. Mike Brecia, Ginny Travers, da Bob Hinden sun sami lambar yabo ta IEEE Internet Award don farkon na'urorin sadarwa na IP a 2008.

Ma'aikatan bincike a MIT da Stanford sun ƙirƙiri na'urori masu amfani da hanyar sadarwa ta multiprotocol na farko da kansu a 1981 kuma duka biyun sun dogara ne akan PDP-11s. William Yeager ne ya jagoranci shirin na'urar sadarwa ta Stanford da Noel Chiappa na MIT. Kusan duk hanyoyin sadarwa yanzu suna amfani da TCP/IP, amma har yanzu ana ƙera na'urori masu amfani da hanyar sadarwa ta multiprotocol.
