If the answer is yes then i have few questions, and i whould be rly pleased if we could talk about it in private.
How do you use it, what are its main advantages? How is it assembled, managed? How u get it? have to invest into sd-wan supporting device? You rent it from ISP or third-party company? What are the steps in its design? Why is it able to better use the bandwidth than the sd-wan?
"Perhaps the greatest selling point for SD-WAN is the ability to cost-effectively mix and match network links according to content type or priority. Both Internet broadband and 4G LTE are less expensive than MPLS, so customers can choose those links instead of the expensive MPLS network for certain types of lower-priority traffic."
This means that you have "x" office and "y" site. You have redundant internet connection at both places, for example via optic and 4G....and i can make from these one logical connection like etherchannel?
It is said that it's safer than the MPLS but if i'm right the sd-wan connects to the public internet and then it makes connection with the other site. As it connects to the public net, it doesn't matter at all who is ISP at both site?
What are its disadvantages? Because all i can find is the usual marketing stuff. But for example i read somewhere that there are several sd-wan technologies and it isn't specified which encryption it uses. the security measures, functions of the sd wan are not sufficient and need to be broaden. The disadvantage of MPLS is that it takes long to configure it but the sd-wan can be configured automatically. Yes, however:
Without a pre-determined path, companies will be unable to answer several key questions, like what path does the data take from point A to point B, who owns the networks it travels across, and, more importantly, what happens to the data in transit," said Bogdan Botezatu, senior e-threat analyst for cybersecurity technology provider Bitdefender.
if i use real time applications like voip then sd wan is not recommended?
- i read that ipsec isnt enough for security
In addition, without standards for how IPsec encryption gets deployed in the SD-WAN, what’s required to get it up and running will vary. In some cases, for example, you need to deploy additional devices at the branch-office premises and at the cloud head-end to create an IPsec VPN overlay. That, of course, requires additional infrastructure and separate management tools.
lot of question and less knowledge. so if someone have time for this, contact me.
thank you fellaz.
