Strictly speaking, no computer 'controls' a network.
You will have different devices that do different jobs on a network.
Some examples :
You might have a DOMAIN CONTROLLER on a Microsoft network that authenticates users of the network (allows users to login and use the network resources).
You might have ROUTERS that 'control' what data gets in and out of a network based upon its configuration and which network data might get forwarded to as necessary.
You might have SWITCHES that 'control' what data gets sent to which computer based upon an IP address' host bits.
You might have a GATEWAY that 'controls' what data passes in and out of a company's internal network onto an external network (such as the internet)
If you want a simple answer then it's probably that a SERVER 'controls' a client-server network.
