What is Traffic Control?

Traffic Control is a method used to manage network traffic, ensuring optimal performance, prioritization, and efficient data flow. It involves various techniques that control the rate, direction, and volume of traffic within a network. This can include features such as traffic shaping, rate limiting, and Quality of Service (QoS). By controlling traffic, congestion is minimized, ensuring critical applications receive the necessary bandwidth.

Unmanaged Switches have a built-in traffic control feature which offers Flow and Storm control to prevent devices from overwhelming each other during the exchange of data.
