As social media networks have become more popular, the amount of data passing through them has exploded. In 2013, social media accounted for nearly one-third of all Internet traffic, and that number is only going to grow.
This presents a challenge for network administrators, who need to ensure that social media traffic doesn’t overload their networks and slow down other traffic.
One way to deal with this is to use specialized software to manage social media traffic. This software can prioritize social media traffic, so that it doesn’t interfere with other traffic.
Another option is to create separate networks for social media traffic. This can be done with dedicated hardware or software.
Whatever approach is used, it’s important to make sure that social media traffic doesn’t overload the network.
