This is part of the computer network infrastructure interconnects different networks, providing a path for exchanging information between LANs or subnetworks. <ref>[https://phoenixnap.com/glossary/backbone-network What is a Backbone Network?]</ref>
		+
		+	Backbone networks are high-speed connections that can be a single large network or a combination of multiple networks. These are primarily designed to maximize the reliability and performance of large-scale, long-distance data communications. A backbone can tie together diverse networks in the same building, across different buildings, or over a wide area, such as in different locations worldwide.
		+
		+	Components of backbone networks often include routers, switches, cabling (fiber optic cables or ethernet), and other hardware that help in data transmission. These networks typically rely on high-capacity data transmissions mediums such as fiber-optic cables, satellite links, or microwave connections.
		+
		+	The importance of the network backbone is paramount, as it serves as the primary path for traffic moving across networks. A failure in the backbone can affect many users and halt large portions of an enterprise.
		+
		+	Historically, the term comes from vertebrate anatomy, with the idea being that all communications go through the central "spine" of the network. As networks expanded in the 1990s, national telecommunication providers like AT&T and MCI Worldcom were recognized for their backbone networks.
		+
		+	The benefits of a strong and efficient network backbone include high speed and high capacity. It enables quick data transfer and communication among users, servers, and applications. It also provides a level of redundancy. If one path becomes unavailable, traffic can be rerouted along another path. The high degree of redundancy is one of the reasons backbone networks tend to be highly reliable.
		+
		+	However, the challenge with backbone networks is that they can become congested if not properly managed or scaled correctly as the organization grows. They can also be expensive and complex to set up and manage, especially for larger organizations. For this reason, many organizations outsource their network backbone to a service provider.
		+
		+	An example of a backbone network is the internet backbone. This is a conglomeration of multiple redundant networks owned by numerous companies. It is typically a fiber optic network that spans the globe, operating at very high speeds.
