7.0.0

Supplemental designs

Supplemental designs

This section will cover common SD-WAN scenarios and designs that build off of our previous designs and architectures covered in the previous sections. These designs will cover common SD-WAN use cases that are typically used in conjunction with any of the aforementioned architectures:

However, they could also be utilized independently of any traditional SD-WAN topology.

Use Case

Description

Direct internet access (DIA)

Secure, local internet breakout of SaaS applications and internet traffic without the need to offload to a remote location.

Cloud on-ramp

Connectivity and intelligent steering of network traffic between one of more cloud locations. This section will cover cloud on-ramp for static and dynamic environments.
