Additionally there exists a hierarchy of mirrors, which is described in terms of __tiers__.

Also access to low-tier-mirrors may be restricted, and access to master sites is definitely restricted.
The __tier__-hierarchy is not reflected by DNS and generally not documented anywhere except for the master sites.
However, official mirrors with low numbers like 1-4, are usually _Tier-1_ (this is just a rough hint, and there is no rule).
