The Internet is often described as the "Information Superhighway." Describe how the analogy of a highway system fits the structure of the Internet.
What will be an ideal response?
The backbone connections are analogous to interstate highways, providing fast communications between principal destinations. Connected to the backbone are transmission lines, which provided slower, more limited capabilities and linked secondary destinations; these transmission lines could be compared to state highways. Additional connections are required to reach individual computers, in the same way that city and neighborhood roads are used to link individual houses.
