What is SD-WAN? say GOODBYE to MPLS, DMVPN, iWAN… w/ SDN, Cisco and Viptela
Software-Defined WAN (Wide Area Network). What is it? How is it different from DMVPN and iWAN and are we still using MPLS? SD-WAN is changing the game and it took me a bit to WRAP MY HEAD AROUND IT because it is STRANGE!!

What is Software-Defined WAN (or SD-WAN or SDWAN)?
Introducing a Software-Defined WAN (SDWAN)
The software-defined wide-area network (SD-WAN or SDWAN) is a specific application of software-defined networking (SDN) technology applied to WAN connections such as broadband internet, 4G, LTE, or MPLS. It connects enterprise networks — including branch offices and data centers — over large geographic distances.
A WAN might be used, for example, to connect branch offices to a central corporate network, or to connect data centers separated by distance. In the past, WAN connections often used technology that required special proprietary hardware. SD-WAN, on the other hand, utilizes the internet or cloud-native private networks. SD-WAN decouples the network from the management plane and detaches the traffic management and monitoring functions from hardware. It relies on four central components:
- Edge Connectivity Abstraction
- WAN Virtualization
- Policy-Driven, Centralized Management
- Elastic Traffic Management
