Which of the following BEST describes a North-South traffic flow?
Which of the following BEST describes a North-South traffic flow?
North-South traffic flow describes data moving between external networks (such as the public Internet) and internal networks (such as a data center). Therefore, traffic flows that cross network boundaries, like a public Internet user accessing a published web server, best represent North-South traffic.
North-South exact traffic would be entering the Datacenter from outside. The management application connecting to managed devices doesn't give any indication of internal or external communication. Therefore, I would probably pick A. It is the only answer that indicates what was asked.
Public internet connects client to the web server and hence is north south data transmission type.
100% A
Examples of north-south traffic include web browsing, email, and cloud-based applications.
In computer networking, north-south traffic is network traffic flowing into and out of a data center. Traffic Based on the most commonly deployed network topology of systems within a data center, north-south traffic typically indicates data flow that either enters or leaves the data center from/to a system physically residing outside the data center, such as user to server. Southbound traffic is data entering the data center (through a firewall and/or other networking infrastructure). Data exiting the data center is northbound traffic, commonly routed through a firewall[1] to Internet space. The other direction of traffic flow is east-west traffic which typically indicates data flow within a data center
Traffic that goes to and from a datacenter is referred to as north-south. This traffic represents clients outside the datacenter making requests and receiving responses.

Question asked to GPT : is management application connecting to managed devices considered as North-South traffic flow Answer: No, a management application connecting to managed devices is not typically considered North-South traffic flow. North-South traffic typically refers to the flow of data between a client or user outside the local network (North) and servers or resources within the local network (South). In the case of a management application connecting to managed devices, it usually involves communication within the local network, often referred to as East-West traffic. This traffic involves devices or services communicating with each other within the same network segment.
North-South traffic goes out of the internal network
Is the correct answer the one that is outlined in green
Public Internet user is browsing using Internet servers that are communicating with each other in an East to West Fashion. Data user downloads from Internet would be South Bound. Database server communicating with another clustered database server would be using it for cloud servers that manages either redundancy, or authentication protocols within a single Intranet, still being East to West Bound. Advertising routes to a router is sending data to other routers to create optimal IP pathing for devices directly connected to it & filling its own IP table for East to West traffic data traveling between routers until they find their correct designated client becoming South Bound traffic there. Application management, think of Linux's Debian's apt-get, or Red Hat's yum installation services (North-South).

GPT says a North-South traffic flow typically refers to network traffic that flows between an external network (e.g., the public internet) and an internal network. In this case, when a public Internet user accesses a published web server, it represents North-South traffic because it involves data moving from the external, public Internet (North) to an internal network (South), such as a company's data center or private network.
A - correct Northbound - exiting data centre. Southbound - entering data centre.
When asking GPT this way, it aligns with A. "Does North-South traffic flow allow management application connections to other managed devices" Answer: Yes, North-South traffic flow can allow management application connections to other managed devices, but it depends on the specific scenario.
I mean D, not A
GPT selects "(A) A public Internet user accessing a published web server" for these reasons" "North-South traffic flow refers to communication between a user or device in one network segment (such as a user on the Internet) and a resource located in another network segment (such as a web server in a data center). This communication typically involves crossing network boundaries or firewalls. Option (B) A database server communicating with another clustered database server refers more to East-West traffic flow, which involves communication between devices within the same network segment or data center. Option (C) A Layer 3 switch advertising routes to a router and option (D) A management application connecting to managed devices are not typically associated with North-South traffic flows but rather involve routing and management interactions within a network."
Apologies for any confusion. You're correct; option D could also describe North-South traffic flow. A management application connecting to managed devices involves communication between an external application (management application) and devices within the organization's network (managed devices), which is another example of North-South traffic flow. So, both option A and option D could be considered valid answers.
