Abstract
In general, the disclosure describes techniques for dynamic application service level agreement (SLA) metric generation, distribution, and intent-based Software-Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN) link selection. For instance, a network device may determine a metric associated with an application or application-group. The network device may send the metric to a controller, and in response may receive from the controller a recommended SLA metric associated with the application or application-group. The network device may also compute an intent-based SLA metric based on the recommended SLA metric, one or more characteristics of one or more links connected to the network device, and a user configured intent model that defines a tolerance level to apply the recommended SLA metric. The network device may select, based on the intent-based SLA metric, a path to send traffic from the application or application-group.
