Episode notes
Modern Branch Connectivity
- Modern branch connectivity must consider cloud and SaaS performance.
- Routing must adapt to hybrid environments with traffic going to various locations.
Prisma SD-WAN's Approach
- Prisma SD-WAN uses a controller for context and state, unlike traditional routing protocols like BGP.
- It builds topology based on branch and data center locations, simplifying network setup.
Path Selection
- Prisma SD-WAN uses real-time application metrics, not routing protocols, for path selection.
- This allows for policies based on application SLAs and monitoring every flow.
