With the expansion of the World Wide Web and the Internet, computer networks have become very large and complex, making them impossible to manage manually.In response, a suite of network management software was developed to help reduce the burden of managing the growing complexity of computer networks.
Networking devices includes a broad range of equipment which can be classified as core network components which interconnect other network components, hybrid components which can be found in the core or border of a network and hardware or software components which typically sit on the connection point of different networks.
Software-defined networking (SDN) is an approach to network management that uses abstraction to enable dynamic and programmatically efficient network configuration to create grouping and segmentation while improving network performance and monitoring in a manner more akin to cloud computing than to traditional network management.

A computer network is a set of computers sharing resources located on or provided by network nodes.Computers use common communication protocols over digital interconnections to communicate with each other.
A network operating system (NOS) is a specialized operating system for a network device such as a router, switch or firewall.. Historically operating systems with networking capabilities were described as network operating systems, because they allowed personal computers (PCs) to participate in computer networks and shared file and printer access within a local area network (LAN).
The integrated circuit is an essential invention to produce modern software systems. [2]The first use of the word software is credited to mathematician John Wilder Tukey in 1958. [3]
Scalability is the property of a system to handle a growing amount of work. One definition for software systems specifies that this may be done by adding resources to the system.
A conceptual diagram of a LAN at a residential house; the router in this case is assumed to also function as a wireless access point.Also shown in this example (shaded in yellow) is the network's connection to the Internet via fixed-line means.
