Abstract
Techniques and mechanisms for intelligently and proactively routing application traffic within a SD-WAN. The techniques may utilize application models to determine bandwidth utilization and usage patterns of application flow(s), determine and predict the impact of potential movement or addition of the application traffic to a pathway and the SLA requirements of the pathway, and intelligently route and/or re-route the packets through the most optimal path, thereby preventing and/or minimizing policy violations. Techniques and mechanisms for intelligently analyze a target network and determine the impact of adding that application on the network based on usage patterns, flow density, bandwidth requirements and volume of traffic, thereby streamlining the process of designing a new network or adding an application to an existing network.
