Also known as split tunnel, this can be used by corporate VPN solutions to lower the amount of network traffic entering a data center (so you don’t overload your undersized pipes)

No, I don't mean that. That's when you purposefully set your routing table to split some traffic to different paths. The premise here is that even if all of your traffic is supposedly going over a VPN, an app can often opt out of that and do whatever it wants.
