Local traffic management (LTM) enables you to load balance traffic between servers within a data center ([endpoint steering](/load-balancing/understand-basics/traffic-steering/origin-level-steering/)) and between private applications. This helps you eliminate the need for hardware appliances and facilitates the migration of your infrastructure to the cloud, providing advantages such as elastic scalability and enhanced reliability.
