In a network architecture where decision-making and data forwarding functions are separated, what is the primary role of the decision-making component?
Determines the optimal paths for data packets to travel through the network
Provides configuration interfaces for network administrators
Monitors hardware components for failures
Physically forwards data packets based on the established paths
The decision-making component, known as the control plane, is responsible for determining the optimal paths for data packets to travel through the network. It makes routing decisions and manages network topology information. The data forwarding component, or data plane, uses these decisions to forward packets accordingly.
