Abstract

Multi-link WANs alone do not constitute an enterprise networking solution. Intelligence is needed to turn that bandwidth into value. Adaptiv | SD-WAN provides that intelligence. Adaptiv | SD-WAN can aggregate multiple underlay links, steer and rate-limit traffic at a per-packet level, provide failover, traffic shaping and acceleration all as a managed service.

Adaptiv Networks commissioned Tolly to evaluate key aspects and attributes of its Adaptiv | SD-WAN service - and the companion Adaptiv | SD-INTERNET service. Tests encompassed application prioritization (quality of experience), link speed and aggregation, and failover. Testing was conducted in June 2017.

Adaptiv | SD-WAN demonstrated that the service can deliver QoE appropriate for priority and non-priority traffic, can utilize multiple WAN links of different capacities in an active-active configuration to maximize application throughput and provide seamless failover to secondary/backup WAN links.
