Network traffic or data traffic is the amount of data moving across a network at a
given point of time. Network data in computer networks is mostly encapsulated in
network packets, which provide the load in the network. Network traffic is the
main component for network traffic measurement, network traffic control and
simulation.
Proper analysis of network traffic provides the organization with the network
security as a benefit - unusual amount of traffic in a network is a possible sign of
an attack. Network traffic reports provide valuable insights into preventing such
attacks.[2]
A traffic volume of one erlang-hour can be caused by two circuits being occupied
continuously for half an hour or by a circuit being half occupied (0.5 erlang) for a
period of two hours. Telecommunication operators are vitally interested in traffic
volume, as it directly dictates their revenue.

FIREWALL
Hardware firewalls can be purchased as a stand-alone product but are also typically
found in broadband routers, and should be considered an important part of your
system and network set-up. Most hardware firewalls will have a minimum of four
network ports to connect other computers, but for larger networks, business
networking firewall solutions are available.
Software firewalls are installed on your computer (like any software) and you can
customize it; allowing you some control over its function and protection features.
A software firewall will protect your computer from outside attempts to control or
gain access your computer.
