Can someone please help to explain to me what a backbone router is?. Or is it just the normal router that was named backbone?.
I have been seeing this in a lot lab designs but doesn't really understand why it's called backbone.

Hi, in the human and animal skeleton, the backbone is what basically keeps things together and every other bone links to it.
So by analogy the backbone routers are the core ones. Usually these are large, expensive and very busy.
