Internet Infrastructure
• The Internet is not owned or operated by any single corporation or government
• The Internet backbone is a network of high-capacity communications links that provides the main routes for data traffic across the Internet
• Backbone links and routers are maintained by network service providers (NSPs)
• An Internet service provider (ISP) is a company that offers Internet access to individuals, businesses, and smaller ISPs
