A CDN is an edge application and an edge application is a superset of what your CDN is doing.
After discussing with numerous SDP vendors, I have discovered that the current SDP landscape tends to be based on specific use cases and projects, as opposed to a technology that has to be implemented globally.
Considering the way networks work today and the change in traffic patterns; both internal and to the cloud, this limits the effect of the fixed perimeter.
The inefficiency factor in the case of traditional routing is one of the main reasons why SD-WAN is really taking off.
Reinventing smart routing and dumb forwarding.
Will NDN kill the cloud, just like content delivery networks (CDN) kill latency?
SD-WAN vendors use open source as the foundation of their solutions and then add additional functionality over the baseline.
Ideally, meeting the business objectives of speed, agility and cost containment boil down to two architectural approaches: the legacy telco versus the cloud-based provider.
To undergo the transition from legacy to cloud-native application environments you need to employ zero trust.
DNS & ISN encryption are likely to present numerous problems to the network operations, optimization and SD-WAN vendors.
