Description: Traffic load refers to the amount of data transmitted over a network at a specific moment. This concept is fundamental in the field of computer networks, as it allows for the evaluation of the performance and efficiency of network infrastructure. Traffic load can vary significantly depending on various factors, such as the type of network, the number of connected users, the types of applications being used, and the time of day. For example, traffic load can influence route selection and network convergence. In various network environments, traffic load is crucial for bandwidth planning and resource management. Additionally, managing traffic load is essential for implementing Quality of Service (QoS) policies, which ensure that critical applications receive the necessary bandwidth to function properly.
