    Abstract: According to certain embodiments, a method by a network device includes receiving a handshake message for a traffic flow from a Software-Defined Wide-Area Network (SDWAN) and determining, from a traffic policy, whether the traffic flow should be symmetrical. In response to determining from the traffic policy that the traffic flow should be symmetrical, the method further includes performing a flow lookup on the traffic flow to determine if the network device originated the traffic flow. In response to determining that the network device did not originate the traffic flow, the method further includes determining a second network device that originated the traffic flow and sending the handshake message for the traffic flow to the second network device in order to maintain symmetry for the traffic flow.

    Abstract: In accordance with various implementations, a method is performed at a data plane node with one or more processors, non-transitory memory, and a control interface between a network function module associated with the data plane node and a switch associated with the data plane node. The method includes determining whether an offload capability is available for a data flow received at an ingress network interface of the data plane node. The method also includes determining whether the data flow satisfies offload criteria in response to determining that the offload capability is available. The method includes bypassing the network function module associated with the data plane node and providing the data flow to at least one of the switch associated with the data plane node or an egress network interface associated with the data plane node in response to determining the offload capability is available and the offload criteria is satisfied.

    Abstract: Techniques for virtualizing tenant transport interfaces configured to implement per-tenant network routing attribute differentiation in each tenant overlay of a multisite wide area network (WAN) and share the virtual transport interfaces between multi-tenant edge (MTE) devices providing transport services to tenant devices based on a defined tenant tier model. A Software-Defined Networking (SDN) controller may receive a physical transport interface and/or a device type associated with a tenant device. The SDN controller may determine a virtual transport interface for the tenant device based on a tier associated with the tenant. MTE device(s) may utilize the physical transport interface to establish sessions with other MTE device(s) in the WAN. The virtual transport interface may be utilized by MTE devices to implement and/or enforce network routing attributes when forwarding network traffic associated with the tenant via the sessions established between the MTE devices through the WAN.
