Base Network in Computer Networking (Network Architecture)
In computer networking, a base network is typically the foundational setup that connects all devices within a specific area or organization. This includes:

LAN (Local Area Network): The base network could be the internal network that connects computers, servers, printers, and other devices in an office or campus. It uses routers, switches, and hubs to allow communication between devices.

WAN (Wide Area Network): In a larger scale, the base network can also refer to a WAN, which connects multiple LANs across large distances, such as between cities or countries. The base network here provides the foundational interconnectivity between various offices or data centers.

Internet Backbone: The term "base network" might be used to refer to the core of the internet itself — the high-capacity data routes, such as fiber-optic cables, that provide the essential data pipelines for the global internet. This is sometimes called the internet backbone.
