Different SD-WAN architectures

SD-WAN is not designed to carry or route data. Its main responsibility is to maintain the configuration and management of WAN points. Enterprises will enjoy many benefits of SD-WAN when deploying SD-WAN, such as higher connection efficiency than MPLS, greater flexibility and redundancy for deploying new services at the remote end, and all of this will not increase. cost.

Traditional WANs typically use point-to-point MPLS connections to connect remote offices to headquarters. The SD-WAN deployment method provides software coverage for existing WANs and provides centralized management and configuration functions.

Different WAN and SD-WAN configurations

SD-WAN can use a variety of transmission methods, with great flexibility, you can configure remote endpoints, such as MPLS, broadband Ethernet, 3G/4G cellular. This flexibility of transmission makes wiring branches easier and does not require physical location or any operator restrictions.

SD-WAN also makes it easier to connect multiple transmissions over a wide area network for redundancy. If the primary transmission path fails, all traffic can be automatically moved to other paths to support continuous connections. The second path is active during load balancing and can also be in a sleep state as a backup waiting for the primary failure.
