Question

Traffic protection from external locations where the egress point is the perimeter is commonly referred to as "North-South" traffic.A. TrueB. False

Answer 1

Answer: A. True

Explanation: In a network, North-south is the traffic flow between the network and any exit in the perimeter network including client servers. It follows that the form of traffic protection used in this form of traffic is also North-South. When data leaves the datacenter, it is northbound and when data enters the datacenter, it is southbound.

The East-West traffic on the other hand is the traffic between a server and another server or other devices in a network/ data center.
