1. About Traffic Distribution Traffic governance is divided into north-south and east-west. In the typical drawing convention for Network Diagrams, core network components are drawn at the top and clients at the bottom, with different service levels drawn in between — hence the names north-south and east-west traffic. North-south traffic refers to traffic initiated by clients, while east-west traffic refers to traffic between services.
