What are some effective techniques for managing network traffic?

There are several techniques for managing network traffic, including traffic shaping, load balancing, and Quality of Service (QoS). Would you like to know more about any specific technique?

Can you explain traffic shaping?

Traffic shaping is a method used to control the flow of data packets in a network. It prioritizes certain types of traffic to ensure that critical applications receive the bandwidth they need, while less important traffic is delayed or limited.

What is load balancing?

Load balancing distributes network traffic across multiple servers to ensure no single server becomes overwhelmed. This improves responsiveness and availability.

How does Quality of Service (QoS) work?

Quality of Service (QoS) is a set of techniques that manage network resources by prioritizing certain types of traffic, ensuring that high-priority applications receive the necessary bandwidth and low-latency connections.
