Internet backbone refers to the high–speed data transmission lines and networks that make up the core infrastructure of the Internet. It connects large, strategically–located nodes or network access points, usually operated by internet service providers (ISPs). The backbone carries the bulk of traffic between networks and is capable of transmitting data at speeds ranging from 45 megabits per second to over 100 gigabits per second. The backbone forms the backbone of the entire internet infrastructure, directly linking major servers, Internet exchange points and ISPs.
