Top 5 Myths About SD-WAN

This blog post debunks five myths about MPLS (necessity for high availability, requirement to build the entire network on MPLS, inherent security, being the only option in China, and being the sole choice for global networks) and argues that SD-WAN or hybrid approaches can deliver comparable or better availability, cloud access, cost efficiency, and global connectivity; it also notes that MPLS lacks built-in encryption and can be augmented with VPNs or converged security solutions.
