What is a Technical Backgrounder ?

The footprint says:

"This document provides a technical introduction and overview of the MAX TNT product line. For additional technical information on the MAX TNT please refer to the MAX TNT product documentation available on the Ascend FTP site.

For additional information on related Ascend products please see the MAX Technical backgrounder for MAX 1800, 2000 and 4000 technical information. See the GRF Architecture guide for technical information on the GRF 400 IP Switch."

That means, there are more than one detailed broschures about design and knowledge about almost all MAX products.
