    Abstract: A WAN controller can configure a first WAN interface on a first WAN edge device to connect to a first transport network. The WAN controller can configure a second WAN interface on a second WAN edge device to connect to a second transport network. The WAN controller or the first WAN edge device, connected to a first access device of an access network, can determine the first WAN edge device has no Layer 2 connectivity to the second WAN edge device, connected to a second access device of the access network. The WAN controller or the first WAN edge device can establish a tunnel between the first WAN edge device and the second WAN interface. The WAN controller can route a specified class of WAN traffic received by the first WAN edge device from the access network through the tunnel.

    Abstract: A system facilitates communication between branches of an SD-WAN and a service chain element. A hub node receives a data packet of a flow from a source branch over a VPN segment to be transmitted to a destination branch, extracts flow information from the data packet including VPN segment information to be stored in a flow table before transmitting the data packet to the service chain element over a service chain VPN. Upon return of the data packet from the service chain element, the hub node uses packet tuple information to retrieve the flow information with VPN segment information from the flow table. The hub node can then forward the data packet to the destination branch over the VPN segment. The hub node can generate and store an Auto Service Chaining Key that connects bidirectional flows so that the hub node can apply service-chaining to bidirectional traffic.

    Abstract: Techniques described herein can perform per-queue network performance measurement mapping, in which per-queue network performance measurements are determined and then mapped back to service level agreement (SLA) classes assigned to use the queues. Network traffic associated with an SLA class can be processed through an assigned router queue. Wide area network (WAN) as well as local performance measurements from the assigned queue can be combined to determine a combined performance measurement associated with the assigned queue. The combined performance measurement can then be mapped or otherwise associated with the SLA class. Similarly, combined performance measurements can be determined for other router queues and mapped or otherwise associated with other SLA classes.

    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to making service-chains routable and intent-based within an enterprise network. In one aspect, a method for simplifying steering of network traffic includes receiving an intent-based description of one or more services to be applied to the network traffic; defining a type for a service chain that includes the one or more services based on the intent-based description, the type serving as an address for the service chain for routing the network traffic to and from the one or more service included in the service chain; implementing the service chain at one or more network hubs; and implementing a traffic steering policy in the network for steering the network traffic to the one or more network hubs to be serviced by the one or more services.

    Abstract: Techniques for ensuring symmetric forwarding between disparate networks. The techniques may include receiving a gateway preference order associated with a route advertised by an edge node, the edge node associated with a first network. The techniques may also include determining, based at least in part on the gateway preference order, that a gateway node is a more preferred gateway for the route than another gateway node, the gateway node configured to facilitate communications between the first network and a second network. In some examples, the techniques may also include converting the gateway preference order into a metric associated with an IP routing protocol that is in use in the second network. In some examples, the route including the metric may be distributed within the second network such that the gateway node is the more preferred gateway for return traffic of the route.
