# What should I care about Zenlayer's IP backbone?

Zenlayer has a 80+ Tbps IP backbone and is considered very large in the industry. The backbone capacity of a network provider determines how much traffic the provider can handle at any given time. In other words, the higher the backbone capacity, the more traffic the network can support, which translates to better performance and faster connectivity.

Having a network provider with a robust backbone capacity can be particularly important for businesses that require high-bandwidth applications or services, such as video conferencing, online gaming, streaming, or cloud computing. If a provider's backbone capacity is insufficient, it can lead to slower connectivity, higher latency, and reduced performance, which can have a negative impact on user experience and productivity.
