End-to-end data packet flow control is described for an overlay environment of a wide area network. A method includes detecting an active session of a specific application with a source node and a destination node within an overlay environment, detecting a traffic flow from the source node to the destination node associated with the active session, mapping the traffic flow to a dedicated service processing thread of a network services appliance, mapping an identifier to the dedicated service processing thread, and forwarding the traffic flow to the destination node through the dedicated service processing thread by applying the identifier to the traffic flow.

In accordance with an embodiment of the invention, a method for routing connections in an SD-WAN is disclosed. The method involves receiving TURN server performance metrics via Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) and receiving network performance metrics from calculations made using Service Level Agreement (SLA) protocol data units (PDUs) for TURN servers in an SD-WAN, generating a score for at least one TURN server in the SD-WAN based on the received TURN server performance metrics and received network performance metrics for the at least one TURN server, selecting a TURN server based on the score generated for the at least one TURN server, and routing a connection over the selected TURN server.

In general, techniques are described for informing services nodes of private network address information in order to apply subscriber-aware services with the services node. In some examples, a services node includes an Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA) interface to receive a AAA message, wherein the AAA message has been extended from a AAA protocol to specify a private network address of a subscriber device authenticated to an access network by the AAA server and assigned the private network address that is not routable external to the access network. A mapping module associates the public network address of subscriber data traffic with the private network address received by the AAA message. One or more service modules select one or more of a plurality of subscriber policies using the associated private network address and apply services to the subscriber data traffic in accordance with the selected subscriber policies.
