Design Considerations for Transition from MPLS to SD-WAN Solution

In this paper design considerations for a network transition from Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) to Software-Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN) are explored and analyzed, including key areas of impact and importance. Brief comparison of both technologies is included, together with a highlight of specific considerations that need to be addressed during the different phases of a global project to be able to ensure a smooth transition.
