Dynamic application steering across multiple WAN links

Dynamic application steering across multiple WAN links

One of the most common SD-WAN use cases is to leverage multiple WAN transports to dynamically steer network traffic based on the business intent. The FortiGate SD-WAN’s core capabilities include multi-path control, application awareness (such as with SaaS solutions), and the resultant dynamic application steering. These capabilities enable network traffic to be routed over the public internet or over private infrastructure—whatever is most efficient for application performance and availability in a multi-cloud environment.

By leveraging a variety of different methods described in this documentation, the FortiGate SD-WAN chooses the optimal path based on the business requirements and protects the application as it traverses the WAN.
