TDS (Traffic Distribution System)
A TDS (traffic distribution system) is software that receives an ad click and decides, based on rules like geo, device, or traffic source, which of several possible destinations to send that specific visitor to. A Cloaking X stream performs a narrower, two-way version of this decision — safe page vs. money page, based on bot/reviewer/fraud detection — rather than routing across many arbitrary destinations the way a general-purpose TDS (RedTrack, Voluum, Keitaro, Binom) does; those tools are commonly chained in front of, or alongside, a stream.
