Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP) — Question 188

With software-defined networking, what aspect of networking is abstracted from the forwarding of traffic?

Answer options

• A. Routing
• B. Session
• C. Filtering
• D. Firewalling

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is Routing because software-defined networking abstracts the control plane from the data plane, which includes routing decisions. The other options, such as Session, Filtering, and Firewalling, do not represent the primary abstraction that is typically associated with the forwarding of traffic in SDN.
