A city architecture slide labels the plane that computes runtime state from desired configuration and pushes forwarding config. Which SDN plane is that?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
If management is city hall's filing cabinet, the control plane is the dispatcher that turns the filed plan into live street instructions. It computes runtime state and pushes forwarding config down to the data plane. The Manager API and Horizon brokers do not play that dispatcher role.
Full Explanation
The NSX-T control plane derives runtime state from desired configuration and programs stateless forwarding on the data plane. Management plane stores intent and exposes UI/API; it does not forward host packets. The data plane does not author the Manager API, and Horizon connection brokers are not an NSX SDN plane.
