Description: A traffic controller is an essential component in data network management, designed to regulate and optimize the flow of information packets circulating through a system. Its primary function is to ensure that data is transmitted efficiently and without congestion, preventing information loss and improving service quality. These controllers operate at different levels of network architecture, from the link layer to the application layer, and can implement various control techniques, such as packet prioritization, bandwidth management, and queue management. The relevance of traffic controllers has grown with the increase in Internet usage and the proliferation of connected devices, leading to the need for more sophisticated solutions to effectively manage data traffic. In an environment where latency and packet loss can severely impact user experience, traffic controllers have become crucial tools for maintaining the integrity and efficiency of digital communications.
