The backbone



1)How formed is this backbone?



The Internet backbone refers to the principal data routes between large, strategically interconnected networks and core routers in the Internet. These data routes are hosted by commercial, government, academic and other high-capacity network centers, the Internet exchange points and network access points, that interchange Internet traffic between the countries, continents and across the oceans of the world. Traffic interchange between the Internet service providers (often Tier 1 networks) participating in the Internet backbone exchange traffic by privately negotiated interconnection agreements, primarily governed by the principle of settlement-free peering.So it is well formed



2) What needs to happen for it to be fully formed?

The development of knowledge depends on spreading Internet and computer technology and also on the development of education in these countries. If a country has attained higher literacy level then this will result in having higher level of knowledge. Indeed, UNESCO's report details many social issues in knowledge divide related to globalization. There was noticed a knowledge divide in respect to



Gender
Race
Ethnicity
Social class



When a girl gets education everything changes, she seeks to improve herself in every respect. Every woman strives to be better.
