Tier 1 ISP's are the Internet backbone, they transit the most traffic and have the most connections.

Think HE, Cogent etc

But where is/ what is the fountain head of "the internet" ?

Please Login to reply.

They are the source of the internet

Ok and what is it that source exactly? A server farm or triplets having visions in a tub of lube?

Huge datacentres and many routers on multiple continents. Add to this the under water optic cables and you got the internet

There is no source it's just a bunch of companies who are connected together to form the Internet.

Then you also have ARIN/RIPE/APNIC these organisations control the allocation of Internet numbers in each region.
