In the section we will talk about control plane and the data plane terms control plane refers to all
the functions and processes that determine which path to use routing protocols spanning tree LDP and
etc. are examples of the control plane processes.
In conclusion guides control plane that reminds how packets should be forwarded and when it comes to
data plane that a plane refers to all the functions and processes that forward packets and frames from
one interface to another.
And in conclusion again data plane moves packets from inputs to outputs Software Defined Networking
enabled this separation of the control and the data plates.
This allows for the data plane to be distributed to over multiple locations and the control plane to
be logical is centralized in a SGA controller.
As the brain of the network this way the network can be run from a central location where every switch
or router can be configured individually.
So in traditional network you can see in here we have a management plane control plane and data plane
and they are all on the same router but on software defined networking router has the management plane
and data plane but control plane is moved to a central controller which is the ASEAN controller.
