routes and manages communications on the network and coordinates network
resources
(Microsoft server, linux)
-Hub or switch:
simple devices that connect network components, sending a packet of data to all
other connected devices
Routers:
,communicate with another NETWORK, like the internet
Software defined networking (SDN):
control functions are managed by one central program, which can run on
inexpensive servers that are separate from the network devices themselves
