Based on SDN (Software Defined Network), the concept has been extended to the WAN area and is emerging as a powerful opponent to MPLS.

SD-WAN is not a technology of the future, but has already been commercialized, and it is evaluated that it has reached some degree of technologic

.

MPLS has made many changes in the existing IP-based network. However, it had the disadvantage that it was not easy to introduce because it was expensive.

SD-WAN consults by service provider, but supports WAN dynamic routing protocols over links such as MPLS, LTE, and wireless networks.

In addition, depending on the priority or sensitivity, SD-WAN and MPLS can be used in combination to reduce dependence on expensive MPLS leased lines and improve overall connectivity between branch offices, headquarters and the cloud.
