Intelligent Traffic Manager

You can't afford traffic backups slowing the delivery of your high-quality content. Optimal network performance and 24 x 7 uptime are vital to your success.  While standard DNS services can be used to help distribute requests evenly across the network, they don’t account for current server loads, traffic backups caused by hardware problems or geographic issues.  The Level 3^® Intelligent Traffic Manager service is designed to do all of this and more.

The Intelligent Traffic Manager service is a DNS-based load-balancing offering. It can transparently monitor and route wide-area traffic to any publicly accessible IP application, website or CDN based on policies you determine — without the cost or hassle of constantly upgrading your infrastructure. By simplifying your traffic management, you can enhance your end users' experiences.
