These days, it is very common for an organization to inject a network service into specific traffic paths across the WAN. For example, a typical use case is to redirect remote traffic through a security device such as a firewall, IPS/IDS, or a TLS proxy located in a centralized data center or a regional hub. Another typical example would be to redirect traffic through a load balancer, caching engine, or a WAN optimizer. Regardless of the type of service, the SD-WAN solution natively supports the advertisements and deployment of network services using the OMP protocol.
