 Tier 1 carrier - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tier 1 networks are often noted for their extremely restrictive peering policies, which are generally regarded as being intended to set the bar for peering so high that no new networks can meet them.
The issue is further complicated by the non-disclosure agreements which surround almost all Tier 1 level peering, which makes it difficult for carriers to officially confirm or deny the existence of peering, the physical connection of two backbone networks to allow data to flow between them.
Many networks incorrectly claim to be a Tier 1 simply due to ignorance of the term, leading to a corruption of meaning in which the vast majority of those claiming to be a Tier 1 network are not.

The facts are the same as example (3), except that instead of determining whether C is part of a tiered structure, the issue is whether C1 is part of a tiered structure.

 Encyclopedia article: Two-tier health care
Moving to a two tier system is supported by conservative think tank (A company that does research for hire and issues reports on the implications) s such as the Fraser Institute (additional info and facts about Fraser Institute).
Thus there are two tiers of health care, one for the public at large and another for those who are wealthy enough to pay for better care.
The term is most often used in Canadian (A river rising in northeastern New Mexico and flowing eastward across the Texas panhandle to become a tributary of the Arkansas River in Oklahoma) health discussions where the debate over two-tier health care has long been central.

 Three Tier Software Architectures
The three tier architecture is used when an effective distributed client/server design is needed that provides (when compared to the two tier) increased performance, flexibility, maintainability, reusability, and scalability, while hiding the complexity of distributed processing from the user.
Also, three tier architectures readily allow different tiers to be developed in different languages, such as a graphical user interface language or light internet clients (HTML, applets) for the top tier; C, C++, SmallTalk, Basic, Ada 83, or Ada 95 for the middle tier; and SQL for much of the database tier [Edelstein 95].
Three tier architectures are used in commercial and military distributed client/server environments in which shared resources, such as heterogeneous databases and processing rules, are required [Edelstein 95].

 Three-tier (computing) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The middle tier may be multi-tiered itself (in which case the overall architecture is called an "n-tier architecture").
Apart from the usual advantages of modular software with well defined interfaces, the three-tier architecture is intended to allow any of the three tiers to be upgraded or replaced independently as requirements or technology change.
The three-tier model is considered to be a software architecture and a software design pattern.

Tier II facilities with redundant components are slightly less susceptible to disruptions from both planned and unplanned activity than a basic data center.
Tier III is composed of multiple active power and cooling distribution paths, but only one path active, has redundant components, and is concurrently maintainable, providing 99.982% availability.

New features added to the operating system must be fully functional across all Tier 1 architectures for every release (features which are inherently architecture-specific, such as support for hardware device drivers, may be exempt from this requirement).

 Tier 1
Tier 2 counties show a dramatically different structure from those of Tier 1.
  Because the counties in Tier 3 have historically high levels of extractive and manufacturing employment, one potential explanation for the steep decline in manufacturing is that the decline of fixed asset manufacturing and extractive activities have caused a tremendous structural shift in these formerly manufacturing and natural resource-dependent counties.
  Further, Tier 1 counties have shown a decline in the role of non-earnings income while all other Tiers of state counties have shown continued upward trend in the importance of this income.
