SD-WAN in Context of WebRTC

SD-WAN in Context of WebRTC

The promise of SD-WAN (Software Defined WAN) is reliable high quality enterprise WAN using low cost access (e.g. broadband) instead of expensive MPLS. SD-WAN is a collection of several technologies with centralized management on top.Given quality of WebRTC sessions and usage of error resilient codecs, does SD-WAN bring any value to WebRTC?

The Alphabet Soup of MPLS vs. DIA vs. SD-WAN

The Alphabet Soup of MPLS vs. DIA vs. SD-WAN

MPLS and DIA are built for the past and don’t support cost and technical requirements of the modern enterprise. SD-WAN will be like the Firewall is today for enterprises. It will become common among enterprises. It doesn’t mean MPLS will go away, but with the capability of Hybrid WAN as part of SD-WAN, MPLS will become less critical, less traffic will go over it,

OTTs Combining WebRTC with SD-WAN – a New Headache for Operators

OTTs Combining WebRTC with SD-WAN – a New Headache for Operators

SD-WAN strengthens the position of OTT hosted UC providers vs. the incumbent operators as it makes the operators’ advantage of owning the network less valuable. SD-WAN reduced the operational cost associated with providing hosted UC in high quality as it removes the need for MPLS. Combined with WebRTC, adding real-time communications as a feature to existing SaaS applications has never been easier.

3 Strategies for SD-WAN

3 Strategies for SD-WAN

MPLS is still pretty commonly used by enterprises, some use it for specific applications while others take it to the extreme and route all traffic of their branches to s central location. Service providers hit a jackpot with MPLS but this is now changing. 2 major forces are making MPLS less lucrative and eventually will kill it: MPLS price is going down; Enterprise requirements have changed

Service Providers are Taking a Squint at Google

Service provider revenue hammered by OTTs causing some to take a stab at digital advertisement. They are diversifying (or at least trying to do so) to different areas, content, IoT, business services and digital advertisement. The question is, will Telenor and others to enter digital advertisement leverage this asset and create synergy with their communications business.

The Impact of ORTC on WebRTC Deployment and Adoption

ORTC is a pretty hot topic on the technology side of WebRTC. Many still see it as a competing technology to WebRTC and therefore are worried it will delay adoption of WebRTC. On the other hand, some are not clear technically what new capabilities ORTC brings and what are the challenges associated with it. In a very high level, it is not correct to compare ORTC with WebRTC but rather to compare it to SDP.

If you are reading this blog I’m pretty sure you have already experienced some WebRTC calls.

ORTC vs. WebRTC: That’s Not The Right Question

ORTC is not a wildcard anymore. It was originally pushed by Hookflash and Microsoft but today Google is part of this initiative and eventually it will find its way into the standard. 4 takeaways: WebRTC is gradually adding ORTC functionalities into it. It is not the full ORTC story but just some parts of it. ORTC is all about setting and getting media parameters…
