Answer Description

East-West traffic refers to the flow of network traffic that is primarily between servers within the same data center, often in a horizontal fashion. This pattern has become increasingly relevant due to the rise of virtualization and cloud computing, where workloads may communicate more intensively within the data center, rather than with external clients or services (North-South traffic). Understanding this traffic pattern is vital for network design and optimizing the data center architecture for performance and efficiency.
