This class includes all the categories of software used for networking and management of the resources in a network. It contains the following subcategories:

 

•Access software: Remote access software is a software that enables remote access to a computer system in a network.

•Communications server software: Communications server software is a software that provides voice, fax, and data messaging solutions for an office or workgroup.

•Contact center software: Software used to enable contact center applications.

•Fax software: Software used to enable fax capabilities.

•LAN software: System management software is used by system managers aiming to minimize the use of excessive, redundant resources to address the overlapping requirements of performance balancing, network management, reducing outages, system maintenance costs, diagnosis and repair, and migration to new hardware and software system version.

•Multiplexer software: Multiplexer software multiplexes (combines) several signals for transmissions over a single medium.

•Storage networking software: Storage management software is a software that enables network administrators to route backup data from various devices on a network to another device such as a server or a magnetic tape backup unit. This is done either to make use of a high-capacity storage system such as a tape juke-box or for disaster protection.

•Switch or router software: Router software is a software that acts as a router between a LAN and a PPP or SLIP link and that allows transparent access from the LAN to the Internet using a single IP address through network address translation (NAT). It can also act as a PPP server for dial-in connections or route between LANs.

•WAN switching software and firmware: Software to enable WAN capabilities in a network.

•Wireless software: Software to enable Wireless capabilities in a network.

•Network connectivity terminal emulation software: A program that allows a computer to act like a particular brand of terminal, e.g. a VT100. The computer thus appears as a terminal to the host computer and accepts the same escape sequences for functions such as cursor positioning and clearing the screen.

•Gateway software: Gateway software is a software that enables data flow between two networks.

•Bridge software: Bridge software is a software used in a device which forwards traffic between network segments based on a data link layer information. These segments would have a common network layer address.

•Modem software: Modem software is a software used to transmit data over a telephone line. Computer information is stored digitally, whereas information transmitted over telephone lines is transmitted in the from of analog waves. A modem software converts between these two forms.

•Platform interconnectivity software: Platform interconnectivity software is an interfacing software which facilitates the communication between computers running different operating systems.

•Infrared data transfer irda software

•Software defined networking/virtualization software: Software defined networking (SDN) is an emergency architecture that is dynamic, manageable, cost-effective, and adaptable, making it ideal for the high-bandwidth, dynamic nature of today's applications. This architecture decouples the network control and forwarding functions enabling the network control to become directly programmable and the underlying infrastructure to be abstracted for applications and network services.
