As a program manager and later office director at the Advanced Research Projects Agency, Roberts and his team created the ARPANET using packet switching techniques invented by British computer scientist Donald Davies and Polish-American engineer Paul Baran. The ARPANET's principal designer was Bob Kahn who worked at Bolt Beranek and Newman . Roberts asked Leonard Kleinrock to apply mathematical methods to model and measure the performance of the network, which was a predecessor to the modern Internet.
