How does Mist Edge affect control plane forwarding and data plane forwarding in this scenario?
Control plane forwarding refers to the functions related to the management and control of the network, including configuration and policy enforcement, which are handled by the Mist Cloud. Data plane forwarding concerns the actual forwarding of user traffic, which in this scenario is managed by the Mist Edge. This setup offloads intensive data forwarding to the local network while maintaining centralized network control.
