What is Local Traffic Manager (LTM)?
Local Traffic Manager focuses on load balancing within a single data center or location. It operates at the application layer, intelligently distributing traffic across multiple servers to ensure efficient resource utilization and optimal performance.
The real power of the LTM is it's a Full Proxy, allowing you to augment client and server side connections. All while making informed load balancing decisions on availability, performance, and persistence. Opposed to the GTM, traffic actually flows through the LTM to the servers it balances traffic to.
