It was a combination both. ID initially, by piecing together blocks of coding to achieve a kind of primordial functionality to build upon. Then evolution, through step by step alterations to ultimately achieve the most fit server networks.

The various species consisted of ARPANET, Mark I at NPL in the UK, CYCLADES, Merit Network, Tymnet, Telenet, and NSFNET, most however having gone extinct.

And finally, the key processes of causation being NS (network selection) and TCP/IP, ultimately resulted in the various kingdoms and domains such as AT&T, CenturyLink, Comcast, Cox, Sprint, TWC, T-Mobile and Verizon.

So in short, both modalities were causative.
