The Level 3® Intelligent Traffic Management offering is a powerful, DNS-based, Web-administered service that enables content businesses to transparently direct wide-area traffic to IP-based applications and Web sites for optimal performance and availability.

The service seamlessly interfaces with existing local and global load-balancing solutions, allowing subscribers to reduce the cost of deploying, operating, and maintaining their own Internet traffic management systems. The Level 3 Intelligent Traffic Management service is designed for:

Automatic Failover: "Sheds" traffic to a backup/overflow service via static or dynamic policies.

Global Load Balancing: Permits the configuration of a static traffic-distribution policy by specifying a certain percentage of traffic to be distributed to data centers, servers or service providers.

Geographic Intelligence: Performs geographic policy-based DNS traffic management.

Service Features

Subscription Based Service: Deploy to any number of sites and locations without the need to invest in expensive hardware or software. Automatic updates are designed to ensure you are always running the latest version.

Flexibility: The service can be used for automatic failover, global load balancing, and geographic intelligence.

Economical: Control over where and how traffic is distributed can mean lower costs for bandwidth and caching.

Ease of Installation: Because neither hardware nor software are deployed, the service can be turned up in a matter of minutes.

Online Management Portal: A Web-based management portal allows historical and real-time usage monitoring.
