Abstract
Techniques for enabling centralized distribution and configuration of routing control settings in a software-defined wide area network (SD-WAN) overlay are disclosed herein. In some aspects, the techniques described herein relate to defining a new address family in a communication protocol. The techniques may enable users to provide input related to configurations for routing control settings in a hierarchical manner. The routing controller may identify device(s) in the SD-WAN and send the routing control settings to the edge devices using the new address family. The techniques described herein provide a streamlined and dynamic way to manage routing controls, while also enabling centralized distribution of routing control settings, routes, best path data, etc. from a centralized routing controller.
