MPLS = Multiprotocol Label Switching is a routing technique in telecommunications networks that directs data from one node to the next based on labels rather than network addresses. Whereas network addresses identify endpoints, the labels identify established paths between endpoints.
Enterprise networks carry a varied range of traffic, such as video, voice, and data. Each one of these traffic classes has its own set of performance requirements and traffic characteristics. A wisely carved out network framework places the right elements to facilitate sufficient resources to each traffic class in order to guarantee the required quality-of-service (QoS) and incremental performance improvements.
A Hybrid WAN architecture for example, combines broadband and MPLS, allowing network managers to keep mission critical traffic on the MPLS network and offload best effort traffic like e-mail and remote backups. This is certainly a better use of bandwidth than running everything over the MPLS network.
SD-WAN - combines all protcols, traffic into a single software-defined flexible appliance including routing, security, firewall for a single control plane
r>> users going to cloud platforms more than data center now
v>> independent of the ISP so you can mix providers as needed, where needed
v>> mix protocols including wireless for failure if needed
f>> QOS controlled well in private net but SD-WAN has dynamic QOS optimization services that normally do well for MOST use cases on latency
h>> migrate apps to SD-WAN as needed moving P2P
SDN, SD-WAN, & SD-Access Simplified... Seriously!
