SD-WAN

System Analysis

Networking

Normal Behavior

A software-defined approach to managing wide-area networks.

Failure Behavior

May drop requests or fallback to degraded mode under load.

Business Consequence

A Software-Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN) failure severs the intelligent routing between corporate headquarters, branch offices, and cloud environments. Businesses lose the ability to prioritize critical application traffic over commodity internet links, resulting in massive latency spikes, dropped VoIP calls, and isolated branch locations that can no longer process local transactions or access centralized ERP systems.

Visual Manifestation

"Jitter and packet loss graphs turning red, branch office POS systems going offline, and frantic tickets about terrible audio quality on calls."

Satirical Behavior

"A highly complex overlay network designed to securely route your employee's YouTube traffic through three different data centers."
