What SD-WAN vendors won't tell you about SD-WAN

Did I miss what vendors aren't telling us??? Seems like just general info about Cato SD-WAN.

nice one thanks for sharing

I'm struggling to see good use case scenarios for SD-WAN.

I guess if you only have an MPLS (Leased line) ISP available where you need connectivity and they have metered usage and charge you for using the line - then SD-WAN would maybe work. Buy a cheap FTTx DIA (Internet) line in conjunction with an MPLS leased line.
Route applications which have a low QoS requirement across the FTTx line and keep QoS sensitive applications (or periods of congestion) across the leased line.

IMO - the majority of the UK has cheap bandwidth and access to SaaS is unmetered and suffers little congestion.

Another possible use case scenario is that you're business with an already established MPLS WAN and you wish to introduce a site across the globe and face various reliability hurdles. You could spin up the remote global site with a few different connectivity option with different providers and WAN control access to the MPLS across the globe.

Would like some replies to explain some other useful case scenarios etc.

Great session 👏

thank for your great video

Very well presented

I thought you will be going to explain disadvantages of SD-WAN.

Fortigates now offer security for SD-WANS

could you tell me pelase why we cannot use VPN spilit horizont or just routing to separete that traffic between WAN and Internet. Let's say the Main Office uses 10/8 network. Why we cannot create 2 rules:


10/8 ---> WAN
0.0.0.0/0 ---> ISP.

Why would I need who SD-WAN solution for a task that can be done on ANY router?

Service providers don't build out their core network fast enough, there are always bottlenecks, over utilized backhauls, and single points of failure, especially up here in AK, where the ISP network and mpls network are all on the same network.

Hi guys,
you are ridiculously ignorant. You are talking about reliable internet connection and exclude eastern-europe. The most developed infrastructure in Europe is in eastern-europe where people have
1 Gig connection at home and were ADSL, CATV is obsolete for a number of years.
