The Internet, and consequently its backbone networks, do not rely on central control or coordinating facilities, nor do they implement any global network policies.
Internet service providers, often Tier 1 networks, participate in Internet backbone traffic by privately negotiated interconnection agreements, primarily governed by the principle of settlement-free peering. These data routes are hosted by commercial, government, academic and other high-capacity network centers, as well as the Internet exchange points and network access points, that exchange Internet traffic between the countries, continents, and across the oceans. The Internet backbone may be defined by the principal data routes between large, strategically interconnected computer networks and core routers of the Internet. This is a small look at the backbone of the Internet.
