SD-WAN Components

SD-WAN is made up of several components that work together to provide efficient and flexible network connectivity. These components include:

The data plane assumes the responsibility of forwarding network traffic and establishing tunnels between various locations.
The control plane oversees the overall behaviour of the network, encompassing routing and security policies.
The management plane manages network configuration and administration by gathering information about the network while also generating alerts for potential events.
The SD-WAN edge serves as a bridge connecting an enterprise's internal network with external networks. It acts as a portal for incoming traffic.
The controller coordinates and manages all these components to ensure their seamless integration into one cohesive system.
