Abstract
An example method includes receiving, by an SD-WAN system, WAN link characterization data for a plurality of WAN links of the SD-WAN system over a time period; and for each site of a plurality of sites of the SD-WAN system, generating, by the SD-WAN system, a local policy for the site, wherein generating the local policy is based on a machine learning model trained with the WAN link characterization data for the plurality of WAN links, and providing the local policy to an SD-WAN edge device of the site.
Claims22
A method comprising:
- receiving, by a software-defined networking in a wide area network (SD-WAN) system, WAN link characterization data for a plurality of WAN links of the SD-WAN system over a time period;
- and
- for each site of a plurality of sites of the SD-WAN system,
- generating, by the SD-WAN system, a local policy for the site based on a global policy comprising one or more rules and applicable to all of the plurality of sites and a machine learning model trained with the WAN link characterization data for the plurality of WAN links, and
- providing the local policy to an SD-WAN edge device of the site.
An SD-WAN system comprising:
- a network analysis system comprising processing circuitry configured to:
- receive WAN link characterization data for a plurality of WAN links of the SD-WAN system over a time period, and
- for each site of a plurality of sites of the SD-WAN system,
- generate a local policy for the site based on a global policy comprising one or more rules and applicable to all of the plurality of sites and a machine learning model trained with the WAN link characterization data for the plurality of WAN links, and
- provide the local policy to an SD-WAN edge device of the site;
- and
- the SD-WAN edge device comprising processing circuitry configured to:
- receive the local policy, and
- assign, based on the local policy, a service or application to a WAN link.
An SD-WAN edge device comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- a memory storing instructions, that when executed, cause the one or more processors to:
- receive, from a network analysis system, a machine learning model trained with WAN link characterization data for a plurality of WAN links of a plurality of sites,
- generate a local policy for the SD-WAN edge device based on the machine learning model, and
- assign, based on the local policy, a service or application of the SD-WAN edge device to a WAN link.
A method comprising:
