Zorluk: OrtaComparing Traditional Networks with Controller-Based Networking

An organization is modernizing its enterprise infrastructure by integrating a centralized network controller alongside legacy autonomous routing and switching equipment. Which two statements accurately highlight the operational and architectural differences between traditional networking and controller-based networking? (Select two.)

  1. In traditional networking, each network device independently maintains its own control plane to compute path decisions, whereas controller-based networking centralizes control plane intelligence to program network-wide policy.Cevap
  2. Controller-based architectures use Southbound APIs, such as NETCONF or RESTCONF, to communicate configuration and operational states down to physical network devices.Cevap
  3. C
    Traditional networking models rely on Northbound APIs to directly negotiate neighbor routing protocol adjacencies between adjacent access layer switches.
  4. D
    Configuration management toolsets like Ansible and Puppet serve as Southbound API protocols that directly switch and route data plane packets across physical interfaces.

Cevap

The two correct statements are that traditional networks rely on distributed control planes while controller-based networks centralize control plane intelligence, and that controller-based architectures leverage Southbound APIs (such as NETCONF or RESTCONF) to communicate down to physical network devices.
In traditional networking, each network device executes its own control plane algorithms independently (distributed control plane). In a controller-based architecture, control plane functions are centralized on the controller, which uses Southbound APIs (such as NETCONF or RESTCONF) to manage and program the underlying physical network devices.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze control plane separation differences between traditional and controller-based models.
Confirm that traditional network nodes individually maintain autonomous control planes, whereas controller-based SDN models centralize policy definition and control plane orchestration.
Control plane centralization is the core architectural differentiator in software-defined networking.
2
Evaluate protocol plane definitions (Northbound vs. Southbound interfaces).
Identify that Southbound APIs (e.g., NETCONF, RESTCONF, OpenFlow) operate between the controller and network devices, while Northbound APIs operate between the controller and higher-level applications.
Southbound APIs enable the controller to program data plane devices below it.
