What is the main difference between traditional networks and controller-based networking?

The correct answer is C. Controller-based networks are open for application requests, and traditional networks operate. Controller-based networks are programmable, meaning they can interact with applications via APIs to automate and optimize network behavior dynamically. Traditional networks, on the other hand, require manual configuration and intervention for most tasks, lacking the flexibility a
