is cisco sdwan session aware

Hi All,

can anyone confirm if Cisco SDWAN is session aware and utilizes the session information for routing purpose.

Hi,

if you mean being "stateful", answer is "it depends". Normally, routers are not session aware, they look traffic pattern and route i.e forward it. Which happens on SD-WAN routers as well.

However, if you enabled additional functionalities for that function related forwarding you may have "session" or "flow" information (using some outputs).

AppQoE/NAT/DPI/cFlowd/Firewall functions can show use related outputs, if they are enabled on the device.
