Automatic creation of adaptive application aware routing policies on a software-defined wide area network (sd-wan)

A computing device comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• one or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
• detect an application initiated for use at an edge node of a network;
• generate analytical data of traffic flow at the edge node of the network wherein the traffic flow is in accordance with a routing policy for routing traffic associated with the application;
• route traffic through a path of one or more paths configured at the edge node that is in accordance with a Service Level Agreement (SLA) for traffic flow;
• and
• in response to an SLA violation during routing of traffic, re-route traffic through another path that is in accordance with at least the SLA for traffic flow based on analytical data received of the traffic flow in the network.

A system comprising:

• a processor configured to detect an application initiated for use at an edge node of a network and analyze traffic flow in a network and is configured to:
• generate analytical information about at least one application from traffic data that is transmitted in the network;
• route traffic through a path comprising one or more paths configured at an edge node that is in accordance with at least a Service Level Agreement (SLA) for traffic flow;
• and
• in response to an SLA violation during routing of the traffic, cause an action of re-routing traffic flow through another path that is in accordance with at least the SLA for traffic flow based on analytical data received.
