Application load-balancing
- [Instructor] One of the biggest advantages that SD-WAN provides us is application load balancing. In a hybrid WAN approach, being able to leverage multiple links at the same time lets us use bandwidth from both links. This is considered an A + A or an Active/Active scenario. Application load balancing is achieved using these types of designs as well. This type of hybrid environment allows for greater application performance at a fraction of the cost of two premium transport links. This also increases scale and flexibility without any security compromise. SD-WAn is applied on multiple WAN connections, LTE, broadband internet, 4G, or MPLS, and application load balancing is to optimize the usage of the links, delivering managed traffic flow across those links or connections. SD-WAN will balance the load among multiple ISP links, having the same service or configuration and makes traffic flow uninterruptedly. It…
