D DelJo63 Feb 1, 2010 #2 ANYTHING which is organized into a hierarchy has nodes: Code: a +---------- --------+ b c +------ -------+ d e Each one of {a-e} are nodes A would be known as the Root node, B,C would be intermediary nodes D,E would be end-points In the context of your question (the Internet) the number, names and locations of the 'Backbone' nodes is not easily determined.
