The Internet has proven to be the global fabric that interconnects all things, as a result, networks need to provide more value than simply raw bandwidth. The ultimate goal is to eliminate or reduce the need for private WAN technologies like MPLS by making the WAN more responsive and less complex. Software-Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN) proposes exactly this.
SD-WAN is an alternative and more dynamic approach to designing and deploying enterprise WAN solutions - providing greater network visibility and control. It aims to replace traditional branch routers with appliances that use virtualisation, application-level policies and network overlays to make several Broadband Internet links behave like a dedicated managed circuit.

Software-Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN) service components
The SD-WAN Edge creates and terminates secured and encrypted tunnels over different types of wired or wireless underlay networks such as Broadband Internet, WiFi and LTE as well as DIA and MPLS core networks.
The SD-WAN Edge also performs application-based QoS and security policy enforcement, application forwarding over one or more WAN connections and QoS performance measurements over each WAN to determine optimal path selection.
The SD-WAN Gateway is a special instance of an SD WAN Edge that also enables sites interconnected via the SD-WAN to connect to other sites interconnected via alternative VPN technologies.
The Service Orchestrator provides the service management of the SD-WAN service lifecycle including service fulfilment, performance, control, assurance, usage, analytics, security and policy.
