Global Traffic Director allows you to route your user and application traffic based on where the DNS query is received, helping to optimize performance and support regional business requirements. Using Global Traffic Director (GTD), you can configure regional nameservers to return a different response. When a nameserver in a region responds to a DNS query, it will return the address of the server you choose for that region. This functionality routes user and application traffic to the nearest location or to align with how you serve markets in different parts of the world.
By responding with a region-specific IP address, GTD routes users to the closest available server. This minimizes latency and improves performance—for example, serving large files from the nearest data center instead of across continents.
