Backbone 1
Backbone 1 : (ICT) (TEL, HE, INT) A local backbone refers to the main network lines that connect several local area networks (LANs) together. The result is a wide area network (WAN) linked by a backbone connection. Internet backbones are huge data pipes (routes) that connect networks, countries and even continents. These data routes are hosted by commercial, government, academic and other high-capacity network centres, the Internet exchange points and network access points that interchange Internet traffic between the countries, continents and across the oceans of the world
