What is ITM?
Intelligent Application Traffic Management is an application built into the Nortel’s Application Switch operating system that uses packet consolidation and deep packet inspection to examine, classify and manage application traffic flows. ITM is used to ensure that applications receive the appropriate bandwidth priority and security treatment. Application traffic can be monitored, discarded, prioritized, rate limited, or rate shaped. Unlike many other traffic analysis solutions, ITM inspects and shapes IP traffic at all layers.
