Question What is a "suite of software" ?

[shaharhada]

BIND is a suite of software for interacting with the Domain Name System (DNS).
What's the meaning of the expression suite of software?
Thanks to ones that reply.

Loosely, it means two or more softwares which may have some common or interactive features and sometimes sold as a bundle, like MS Office.

Things that can work together.

In MS Office, you can embed a spreadsheet from Excel into a Word document.
And even have an actual connection, so that when you change a value in Excel, it also updates the Word document.

So, as I understood BIND softwares are dealing with the Internet, a.k.a. the DNS server and protocol and also one with other. Right?

I am no expert in this but the following sentence probably sums up what it means.
