SD-WAN Overview
Networks that could use SD-WANProprietary VSAT networks
Limited throughput
Multiple technologies (MPLS, VSAT, 4G, etc.)
Complicated routing rules
Reducing Expensive MPLS circuits
About SD-WANSeparates networking hardware from its control mechanism
Creates a virtual overlay across the underlying data services, separating the upper protocol stack from the network.
Selects the right transport media for the right application
Measures connections for latency, loss and jitter that along with predefined policies can route traffic flows to one or another tunnel

Speedcast loves SD WAN…
Bandwidth and Content prioritizationChoose which content goes over which link.
Balance bandwidth in a way that’s transparent
to the user.
Better MobilityDynamically and auto switch links as
they become available.
Secure Data TunnelingTunnel and protect data over
shared mediums like 4G
Virtually Bond Multiple LinksMake use of multiple links simultaneously to increase
availability, stability, and bandwidth.
Quality Based RoutingCombine predetermined policies with up to the
millisecond knowledge of actual network performance.
Failover without Session InterruptionDetect failures in a fraction of a second and switch
traffic to alternative live paths without interruption to
active sessions.
Connect Geographically Separate NetworksTunnel data securely across the internet to connect
global networks without MPLS.
Packet DuplicationPackets from low bandwidth, latency sensitive
applications, such as VoIP, can be duplicated
across two or more links, resulting in the highest
possible application performance.
