Automatic application-based multipath routing for an SD-WAN service

A method comprising:

• comparing, by processing circuitry, criteria to at least one property of at least one of a plurality of applications to determine whether any criterion of the criteria is met by the at least one property, the plurality of applications not being pre-provisioned for application-based multipath routing (AMR);
• identifying, by the processing circuitry and based on the at least one property of the at least one of the plurality of applications meeting any criterion of the criteria, one or more of the plurality of applications as eligible for AMR in a software-defined wide area network (SD-WAN);
• determining, by the processing circuitry, a breach of a service level agreement (SLA) for a first application of the identified one or more of the plurality of applications on each WAN link associated with the first application;
• and
• applying, by the processing circuitry and in response to determining the breach, AMR for the first application.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions, which, when executed, cause processing circuitry to:

• compare criteria to at least one property of at least one of a plurality of applications to determine whether any criterion of the criteria is met by the at least one property, the plurality of applications not being pre-provisioned for application-based multipath routing (AMR);
• identify, based on the at least one property of the at least one of the plurality of applications meeting any criterion of the criteria, one or more of the plurality of applications as eligible for AMR in a software-defined wide area network (SD-WAN);
• determine a breach of a service level agreement (SLA) for a first application of the identified one or more of the plurality of applications on each WAN link associated with the first application;
• and
• apply, in response to determining the breach, AMR for the first application.
