Description: Local traffic refers to the flow of data that occurs within a local area network (LAN), meaning between devices that are connected to the same network without needing to go out to the Internet. This type of traffic is fundamental for efficient communication between computers, printers, servers, and other devices in a closed environment. Unlike external traffic, which may be subject to latency and bandwidth restrictions, local traffic is generally characterized by its speed and low latency, allowing for more agile data transfer. Additionally, local traffic is essential for applications that require high availability and performance, such as video streaming, online gaming, and collaborative work environments. Proper management of local traffic is crucial to optimize network performance and ensure that resources are used efficiently, avoiding bottlenecks and ensuring that all devices can communicate without interruptions.
