Internet backbone
<communications, networking> High-speed networks that carry
Internet traffic.
These communications networks are provided by companies
such as AT&T, GTE, IBM, MCI, Netcom, Sprint,
UUNET and consist of high-speed links in the T1, T3,
OC1 and OC3 ranges. The backbones carry Internet
traffic around the world and meet at Network Access Points
(NAPs).
Internet Service Providers (ISPs) connect either directly to
a backbone, or they connect to a larger ISP with a connection
to a backbone.
The topology of the "backbone" and its interconnections may
once have resembled a spine with ribs connected along its
length but is now almost certainly more like a fishing net
wrapped around the world with many circular paths.
