Network architectures are undergoing a complete overhaul, initiated by the advent of software-defined networking (SDN). In addition to creating new possibilities, such as the reconfiguration of data paths in a matter of seconds through full automation, the main aim is to drive the operation of an enterprise network towards greater efficiency and flexibility. This trend is already having an impact on the design concepts of WAN connections. In addition to the highly reliable MPLS VPNs, cost-effective Internet connections are available as WAN connections. The hybrid WAN concept has been developed as an intermediate step towards software-defined WAN in order to make optimum use of both with regard to the QoS requirements of the applications. Here, data traffic is controlled by means of controller functions distributed across the network, while central control plane servers are used for this in the SD-WAN.
