What are the components of networking services?

Network hardware, like routers, switches, and physical servers. These kinds of components are very visible, but they are not the only kind of important infrastructure. Even cables, access points, and network cards are parts of this category.

Network software, which can run on either dedicated hardware or commodity servers. Firewalls can be both hardware and software depending on the configuration. Intrusion detection and other security measures are usually part of this category as well.

Network services, come in the form of software that runs on servers. A domain name service (DNS) server is a good example of a network service. In general, network software is somewhat standalone and operates on traffic passing through to other parts of the network, while network services use a client-server architecture and only respond to traffic pointed in their direction.
