Key concept: I want to: LIMIT WEB TRAFFIC
ELIMINATION:
A- Spam filter – This is for email
B – Load balancers are to BALANCE the load of web traffic , not to limit it
C – Antivirus does not limit web traffic. It analyses it and detects/eliminates a virus
F-NIDS stands for “Network Intrusion Detection System”. It “detects” the “intrusion” , but it does not limit web traffic
So the only ones left are: D, E and G
A proxy server is a server that acts as an intermediary for requests from clients seeking resources from other servers. It is used to manage/limits traffic as well.
Firewalls manages/limits traffic using a rule or a set of rules.
A URL is a reference to a resource that specifies the location of the resource. A URL filter is used to block access to a site based on all or part of a URL.
