leaf site n.,obs.   Before pervasive TCP/IP, this term was used    of a machine that merely originated and read Usenet news or mail,    and did not relay any third-party traffic.   It was often uttered in    a critical tone; when the ratio of leaf sites to backbone, rib, and    other relay sites got too high, the network tended to develop    bottlenecks.   Compare {backbone site}, {rib site}.   Now that traffic    patterns depend more on the distribution of routers than of host    machines this term has largely fallen out of use.
