'''Network UNIX''' is the formal name for a version of [[UNIX]] produced in 1974-75 for use with the [[ARPANET]]. It was reportedly the first networked UNIX; it used the [[Network Control Protocol|NCP]] [[protocol]].

The work was at the Center for Advanced Computation at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. It was originally written mostly by Gary R. Grossman and Steve F. Holmgren; many others later contributed fixes and improvements. The code rapidly spread among computer science centers which were connected to the ARPANET.

The code is divided into three main sections: code for the [[kernel]], which handled sending and receiving ordinary user data (further divided into [[device driver]]s, and code common to all methods of interfacing to the ARPANET); a [[daemon]] which ran as a [[process]], which handled the more complex, and rare protocol operations (e.g. listening for incoming connection requests; the Initial Connection Protocol used to open a [[connection]]; closing connections); and programs (also run as processes) to implement [[application]]s such as [[File Transfer Protocol|FTP]] and [[Telnet|TELNET]].
