What is Networking software?

Networking software encompasses a wide range of programs and applications designed to manage, control, and optimize computer networks. This includes operating systems with built-in networking capabilities, specialized network management tools, security software (firewalls, intrusion detection systems), and software-defined networking (SDN) solutions. It's commonly used for tasks such as configuring network devices, monitoring network performance, managing user access, ensuring network security, and enabling communication between computers and devices on a network.
