backbone site n.,obs.

Formerly, a key Usenet and email site, one that processes a large

amount of third-party traffic, especially if it is the home site of

any of the regional coordinators for the Usenet maps. Notable backbone

sites as of early 1993, when this sense of the term was beginning to

pass out of general use due to wide availability of cheap Internet

connections, included uunet and the mail machines at Rutgers

University, UC Berkeley, [943]DEC's Western Research Laboratories,

Ohio State University, and the University of Texas. Compare [944]rib

site, [945]leaf site.

[1996 update: This term is seldom heard any more. The UUCP network

world that gave it meaning has nearly disappeared; everyone is on the

Internet now and network traffic is distributed in very different

patterns. Today one might see references to a `backbone router'

instead --ESR]
