Which plane of the NSX-T Data Center architecture performs the network traffic forwarding?

Answer options

• A. Routing Plane
• B. Control Plane
• C. Data Plane
• D. Management Plane

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, the Data Plane, as it is specifically designed to handle the actual forwarding of network traffic.
