In modern SD-WAN networks, a global controller continuously optimizes application and user intents by selecting the proper routing policies for each application. Nevertheless, the competition between flows can still occur at each overlay link and it may degrade Quality of Service (QoS). To mitigate performance degradations in case of congestion, QoS policies can also be dynamically optimized to limit the rate of low-priority flows and share the bandwidth among all flows in a fair manner. This demonstration presents a comprehensive control plane architecture to coordinate path selection and rate allocation, in order to meet application requirements while optimizing a global objective (e.g., low congestion, best quality, and minimum cost).
