Five Requirements for SD-WAN Visibility
1. In-depth Internet visibility
– SD-WAN exposes companies to Internet unpredictability
2. Ability to drill into the network underlay
– Per ISP, per node, per link
3. App-aware network visibility for SaaS
– Ability to easily correlate between app performance and network level
4. View of historical data-set
– Benchmark, plan and set KPIs
5. Easy and quick fault isolation
– Internal wide area, ISP, IaaS / SaaS?

Overlay – Network Performance
• Data Center to Branches, Throughput, Bi-Directional
• Complete overlay network performance and visibility.
• One test for all branch to DC circuits. DC to Branch
tests optional.
SD-WAN overlay clearly
visible in Path Viz, with
IPSEC/GRE tunnel and
vEdge devices.

Overlay – On-Prem Application
• Branch Agents to Data Center Application via
SD-WAN overlay tunnel
• Page Load – http://netdata.sdwandemo.com
• Monitor DX of branch locations targeting on-
prem data center applications.
• Correlate Page Load, Response Time, etc.
with overlay tunnel latency, jitter, loss, and
other network issues.

Underlay – Network Performance
• Branch Agents to Data Center vEdge
• Target vEdge/cEdge for each broadband provider.
Requires separate test for each provider interface to
test.
• Public IPs configured in vManage policy to allow DIA
path.

Data Center to Cloud IaaS
• Data Center Agent targets multiple Cloud Agents in each public
cloud provider.
• Reverse path (Target to Source) allows monitoring traffic via DIA.

Branch to SaaS DIA
• Branch Agent targets SaaS application via DIA policy.
One test per application (O365, Salesforce, ServiceNow)
• Page load, HTTP server, and full path visibility to identify
and resolve SaaS branch DX issues.

Branch ISP Health
• Branch Agent targets multiple Cloud Agents. Reverse
path (Target to Source) allows monitoring traffic via
DIA.
• Get external visibility into all branch broadband/ISP
interfaces in one test.
• No need to target WAN interface with ICMP test.
