PARAMETER | MPLS | SD-WAN |
Abbreviation for | Multiprotocol Label Switching | Software Defined – Wide Area Network |
Provisioning time | High | Very low |
Configuration | Manual Configuration | “Zero Touch provisioning” allows no need to perform manual configuration |
Management | Decentralized control over variety of networking equipment | Centralized control of devices |
Cost impact | High | Low since Internet links are used which are much cheaper than MPLS |
Security | Good | Very High |
Application Level Visibility | Low visibility of application performance | Deep application visibility |
Bandwidth Scaling | Time consuming | Immediate |
