Exercise
Definition:
From the user's perspective, upstream network traffic flows away from the local computer toward the remote destination. Conversely, downstream traffic flows to the user's computer.
Traffic on most networks flows in both upstream and downstream directions simultaneously, and often when data flows in one direction, network protocols often send control instructions (generally invisible to the user) in the opposite direction.
Load balance platform: What platform do they use for balancing IP requests? A platform is an operating system.
Redundancy: Backup. If you contract with a web hosting service located on the San Andreas fault in California and there is an earthquake, what happens to your web site and all your latest orders? Where that location is is redundancy.
