Abstract
This research presents the On-POP-Overlay architecture, a novel contribution to Multi-site Software-Defined Data Centers (SDDC). Our work contrasts this new architecture with the established On-Premises-Overlay, focusing on their deployment in SD-WAN settings. Central to our investigation is the On-POP-Overlay’s effectiveness in managing latency, jitter, and enhancing security. Our findings reveal that this architecture markedly boosts network performance, particularly in reducing latency. This attribute is especially beneficial for sectors like finance where latency sensitivity is paramount. This study optimizes network paths and reduces latency in intercontinental SD-DCs through Hybrid Edge Cloud Network Acceleration, laying the foundation for future AI-driven route selection in SD-WAN frameworks. This approach offers promising opportunities to enhance network path optimization and reinforce security measures. Such integration signifies a practical and valuable progression in the application of SD-WAN within the realm of global network infrastructures.
