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 <tt class="systemitem">uunet</tt> and the mail
machines at Rutgers University, UC Berkeley, <a href="../D/DEC.html"><i class="glossterm">DEC</i></a>'s
Western Research Laboratories, Ohio State University, and the University of
Texas. Compare <a href="../L/leaf-site.html"><i class="glossterm">leaf site</i></a>.</p><p>[2001 update: This term has passed into history. The UUCP network
world that gave it meaning is gone; everyone is on the Internet now and
network traffic is distributed in very different patterns. Today one might
see references to a &#8220;<span class="quote">backbone router</span>&#8221; instead
