SD-WAN Technology

Which of the following is NOT the objective of SD-WAN?

• To increase the operational and support cost.

• To simplify the management of the WAN.

• To optimize user experience and efficiency.

• To simplify the operations with automation and cloud-based management

How did SD-WAN technology emerge?

• Vendors enhanced WAN optimization techniques and integrated them into a new package.

• It stemmed from software-defined networking technology that separates the control plane from the data plane and centralizes control and management.

• Enterprises decided to stage a coup against MPLS service providers.

• Vendors got bored and decided to throw the WAN industry for a loop with a new, exciting acronym.

True or false: SD-WAN deployment is causing the demise of MPLS.

• True

• False

Which of the following is the advantage of SD-WAN?

• It runs on a mix of network connections

• It provides high cost and low speed in connectivity

• There's no possibility of latency and packet loss when directly connect to the cloud

• It does not relies on virtualized overlay

What is required for SD-WAN deployment?

• A wide area network.

• A physical or virtual SD-WAN appliance at each site.

• Knowledge of your company's WAN traffic patterns and existing WAN links.

• All of the above.

True or false: SD-WAN deployment will eliminate hardware throughout branch sites.

• True

• False

Which of the following are basic SD-WAN features?

• Application-aware routing for best path selection and failover.

• Centralized management and real-time monitoring.

• The ability to use multiple WAN connections, like MPLS and broadband internet.

• All of the above.

Which of the following DOES NOT describes SD-WAN?

• It is mostly rely on dedicated MPLS connections

• It measures traffic and selects the best route for each data packet in real-time

• It is hardware/software combination and offers added flexibility.

• It have a centralize controller

True or false: SD-WAN deployment helps with cloud-based and SaaS applications?

• True

• False

True or false: Scalability is an important consideration when it comes to SD-WAN deployment.

• True

• False
