SD-WAN rules

SD-WAN rules, which are sometimes called service rules, identify traffic of interest, and then route the traffic based on a strategy and the condition of the route or link between two devices. You can use many strategies to select the outgoing interface and many performance service level agreements (SLAs) to evaluate the link conditions.
