Abstract

A network traffic control system that generates traffic monitor information by monitoring the network traffic and controls the network traffic based on the traffic monitor information. The network traffic monitoring system includes a network traffic monitor and a network traffic controller. The network traffic monitor determines information such as types of communication, communicating partners, and geographical locations of the communicating partners. The network traffic controller processes the traffic monitor information. Thus, the traffic network control system reduces the cost of network communication as well as optimizes network performance based on traffic monitor information obtained by the traffic monitor.
