Description: Traffic diversion is a critical process in network management that involves redirecting data traffic to avoid congestion and maintain service availability, especially during Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks. These attacks aim to flood a server or network with an overwhelming volume of requests, potentially leading to service disruption. Traffic diversion acts as a protective measure, redirecting requests to alternative servers or using filtering techniques to mitigate the attack’s impact. This process helps maintain service continuity and optimizes network resource usage, ensuring that legitimate traffic can flow uninterrupted. Traffic diversion solutions may include the use of Content Delivery Networks (CDNs), load balancers, and intrusion prevention systems, which work together to identify and redirect malicious traffic. In a digital environment where availability and speed are essential, traffic diversion becomes an indispensable tool for organizations seeking to protect their online assets and ensure a smooth user experience.
