Service Mesh Traffic Shaper

Service Mesh Traffic Shaper is a networking control mechanism that limits or prioritizes flows across links for east-west service communication. It uses queues, rate limits, and quality-of-service rules so teams can protect important traffic while keeping evidence, reliability, and public-safe operational boundaries clear.

“The network engineering team used Service Mesh Traffic Shaper when a service called another service, so the team could protect important traffic before traffic crossed a service boundary.”
