Description: Connection management refers to the process of managing interactions between devices on a network, ensuring that communication is efficient and secure. This process involves configuring, maintaining, and monitoring network connections, which can include both physical and logical connections. In a network environment, connection management is crucial for ensuring that data is transmitted effectively between different nodes, minimizing latency and maximizing available bandwidth. Additionally, connection management includes managing communication protocols, such as TCP/IP, and implementing security policies to protect the integrity of data in transit. The ability to effectively manage connections is fundamental to the operation of complex networks, such as those found in enterprises, data centers, and Internet service providers. As network technologies have evolved, so have the tools and techniques used for connection management, incorporating aspects such as network virtualization and automation, allowing for more agile and adaptive management of network infrastructures.
