A backbonenetwork or networkbackbone is a part of computer network infrastructure that interconnects various pieces of network, providing a path for the exchange of information between different LAN s or subnetwork s. ref http searchsmb.techtarget.com sDefinition 0,,sid44 gci211629,00.html What is a Backbone? , Whatis.com, Accessed June 25, 2007 ref ref http abinomics.com glossary technology b BackboneBackbone Abinomics.com ref A backbone can tie together diverse networks in the same building, in different buildings in a campus environment, or over wide areas. Normally, the backbone s capacity is greater than the networks connected to it. A large corporation that has many locations may have a backbonenetwork that ties all of the locations together, for example, if a server cluster needs to be accessed by different departments of a company that are located at different geographical locations. The pieces of the network connections for example ethernet, wireless that bring these departments together is often mentioned as networkbackbone. Network congestion is often taken into consideration while designing backbones. Backbone networks should not be confused with the Internet backbone .

Collapsed Backbone Inverted Backbone, Backbone in a Box is a type of backbonenetwork architecture. The traditional backbonenetwork goes over the globe to provide interconnectivity to the remote hub s. In most cases, the backbones are the links while the switching or routing functions are done by the equipments at each hub. It is a distributed architecture. In the case of a collapsed or inverted backbone, each hub will provide a link back to a central location to be connected to a backbone in a box. That box can be a switch or a router. The topology and architecture of a collapsed backbone is a star or a rooted tree. The main advantages of the collapsed backbone approach are a ease of management since the backbone is in a single location and in a single box and, b since the backbone is essentially the back plane or internal switching matrix of the box, proprietary, high performance technology can be used. However, the draw back of the collapsed backbone is that if the box housing the backbone is down or there are reachability problem to the central location, the entire network will crash. These problems can be minimized by having redundant backbone boxes as well as having secondary backup backbone locations.

The backbone cabal was an informal organization of large site Sysop administrators of the worldwide distributed Internet discussion system Usenet . It existed from about 1983 until 1988. The cabal was created in an effort to facilitate reliable propagation of new Usenet posts While in the 1970s and 1980s many news servers only operated during night time to save on the cost of long distance communication, servers of the backbone cabal were available 24 hours a day. The administrators of these servers gained sufficient influence in the otherwise anarchic Usenet community to be able to push through controversial changes, for instance the Great Renaming of Usenet newsgroups during the 1980s. History As Usenet has few technologically or legally enforced hierarchies, just about the only ones that formed were social hierarchy social hierarchies . People acquired power through persuasion, exerted both publicly and privately, public debate, force of will often via aggressive flaming internet flames , garnering authority and respect by spending much time and effort contributing to the community by being a maintainer of a FAQ , for example see also James Parry Kibo , etc. .
