Description: Network traffic management refers to the techniques used to control and optimize the flow of data across a network. This includes monitoring, analyzing, and regulating traffic to ensure optimal performance and a smooth user experience. Traffic management tools allow for the identification of bottlenecks, prioritization of critical traffic, and ensuring that network resources are used efficiently. In various environments, traffic management is essential for maintaining the availability of applications and services, especially during high-demand situations. Additionally, it integrates with technologies such as cloud auto-scaling, which allows for automatic resource adjustment based on traffic load, and security approaches like Zero Trust, which require continuous traffic assessment to protect the network from threats. Network traffic management not only improves operational efficiency but also contributes to the resilience of IT infrastructure, enabling organizations to quickly adapt to changes in demand and unexpected incidents.
