Cleanup[edit]

I found these dictionary defintions that might me useful in another article:

* The high-traffic-density connectivity portion of any communications network.

In packet-switched networks, a primary forward-direction path traced sequentially through two or more major relay or switching stations.: primarily switches and interswitch trunks. (Source: from Federal Standard 1037C and from MIL-STD-188)
The Internet backbone.

Backbone → Backbone (disambiguation) – I think this revision of this page had it right: "Backbone" should be a redirect towards Vertebral column per WP:PRIMARYREDIR. Steel1943 (talk) 23:15, 29 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

https://wikinav.toolforge.org/?language=en&title=Backbone indicates there's a nice spread of reader interest between various topics, where in October '23 there were 74 identified clickstreams to the proposed primary topic out of 438 total views which is ~17%, so a more coherent argument on long-term significance would be necessary to explain why we'd want to risk badly navigating the other ~83% of readers. Certainly the derived terms in computer networking, with no less than two articles in the same top list of reader interest, already indicate there is substantial scholarly significance in topics other than the original one, it's not just the novelty items like the recently released game. --Joy (talk) 09:01, 30 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
