Traffic Control
The vast majority of today’s Internet traffic is media files being sent from a single source to many thousands or even millions of destinations. Content Delivery Networks make that one-to-many distribution possible in an economical way.
Traffic Control is an Open Source implementation of a Content Delivery Network.
The following documentation sections are available:
