Traffic steering policies decide how a load balancer routes traffic to attached and healthy pools.

• Standard: Standard steering policies include Off - Failover and Random.
• Geo: Geo Steering directs traffic to pools tied to specific countries, regions, or — for Enterprise customers only — data centers.
• Dynamic: Dynamic Steering uses health check data to identify the fastest pool for a given Cloudflare Region or data center.
• Proximity: Proximity Steering routes visitors or internal services to the closest physical data center.
