SD-WAN versus ISP Redundancy

[PhoneBoy]

This topic came up in our recent SD-WAN TechTalk.
While SD-WAN does have an additional cost to it, the capabilities are far greater than is currently possible with our ISP Redundancy feature in Quantum appliances.

Here is a brief comparison, which comes from sk180605: 

Feature	SD-WAN	ISP Redundancy
License requirement	Yes	No
Traffic steering based on a service or application
Traffic steering using an ISP link with best characteristics
Monitoring of ISP link characteristics	Health monitoring for jitter, latency, and packet loss
Fail-over between ISP links	Based on the Internet monitoring and probing of a next hop	Based on the probing of a next hop and hosts
VPN transport protocol	IPsec	IPsec
Monitoring dashboard
Management of ISP links
Link Aggregation of ISP links	Advanced	Limited
