I'm trying to understand, what is the technological difference between solution which is called SD-WAN versus having MC distributed all over branch offices plus MM and Airwave
SD-WAN datasheet
The Gateways' looks and naming is almost identical to those of Mobility Controller, it seems to me that is the same hardware.
SW features are also very alike, except, maybe, PBR, Path Quality Monitoring, Dynamic path steering, or even Installer App.
But PBR is available on AOS8, so what is different?
Dynamic path steering sounds as Uplink monitoring + setting appropriate Next Hop. And I can continue on these...
So, how technically different are these two solutions?
Is it a repack of the same HW into cloud platform?
How really different and thus useful is this repack? Will in upcoming time MCs lose some of SD-WAN features, like PBR?
What about those who has 3+ years Airwave contract and like the idea of on premises management?
Thank you!
