Cisco CCIE Enterprise - SD-WAN Viptela Lab 1

SD-WAN (Software-Defined Wide Area Network) is a networking technology that simplifies and optimizes WAN management by using software to intelligently route traffic across multiple connections, such as MPLS, broadband, and LTE. It enhances network performance, security, and cost-efficiency by dynamically selecting the best path for data based on real-time conditions.
