Network structure of telecommunications network

In general, every telecommunications network conceptually consists of three parts, or planes (so called because they can be thought of as being, and often are, separate overlay networks):

The control plane carries control information (also known as signalling).
The data plane or user plane or bearer plane carries the network's users traffic.
The management plane carries the operations and administration traffic required for network management.
