SD-WAN Network Monitor service
The SD-WAN Network Monitor service is a tool designed to determine upload and download speeds. It has the capability to conduct speed tests either on-demand or according to a predetermined schedule, measuring upload and download speeds of up to 1 Gbps. The results of the tests can be used as reference for various applications, including the following:
Configuring the estimated bandwidth of an interface, which can be employed in conjunction with various WAN intelligence strategies. See Using speed test results with SD-WAN for more information.
Configuring the inbandwidth and outbandwidth of an interface for use in traffic shaping. See Using speed test results with traffic shaping for more information.
Applying the speed test to dialup VPN tunnels in a hub and spoke deployment to conduct traffic shaping.
FortiOS offers a variety of methods for testing SD-WAN speed. The following table provides a brief overview of each method and guidance on when it might be most advantageous to use one method over the others.
