Explanation

The middle layer of the SDN has two main tasks. One of them is to transfer and communicate with the application layer using the APIs and the next task is to receive the instructions from the networking devices present in the last layer. The controller receives the information from the hardware and sends it to the application layer after extracting the information. Here, when the information is received from the hardware, an abstract view is formed before it gets transferred to the application layer. This is the main task of
