Sangfor SD-WAN optimizes network performance across various connections (MPLS, Broadband, LTE) through several key functionalities:

    Traffic steering: SD-WAN intelligently analyzes traffic based on predefined parameters like bandwidth, latency, packet loss, and application requirements. This analysis allows it to:
        Prioritize critical traffic: Business-critical applications like VoIP or video conferencing can be routed through the most reliable connection (e.g., MPLS) for smooth operation.
        Load balance non-critical traffic: Less sensitive data transfer can utilize cost-effective options like broadband or LTE, reducing reliance on expensive MPLS.

    Path selection: SD-WAN constantly monitors available connections and dynamically chooses the optimal path for each data packet. This ensures:
        Real-time adaptation: If a connection experiences congestion or downtime, traffic is automatically rerouted through other available links, minimizing performance degradation.
        Failover: In case of complete connection failure, SD-WAN can seamlessly switch to a backup link, ensuring business continuity.

    Application awareness:  Sangfor SD-WAN can identify different applications and their specific needs. This allows for:
        Quality of Service (QoS): SD-WAN prioritizes bandwidth allocation for latency-sensitive applications like VoIP or video calls, even when using a shared connection like broadband.

    Centralized management: SD-WAN provides a central console to monitor and manage all connected sites and connections. This simplifies:
        Configuration: Policies and rules for traffic routing and application prioritization can be centrally defined and applied across the entire network.
        Performance optimization: Network administrators can gain insights into traffic patterns and application performance, allowing for further optimization strategies
