Viptela Support in china

[MR203]

Guys,

As we all know China doesn't allow Viptela SDWAN capabilities within China. Do we have to create a regional hub outside China in other Asian country and have china site connects to the hub via Mpls? lastly, do we need to install a physical appliance for vmanage in China or not?

I am trying to understand the design options.

Please reply as this is an urgent design issue in one of my deals.

Thanks

I think what they are saying is IPSEC tunnel is disallowed.
Especially to the outside of China.
You might, actually, get a way with within China, rolling out vManage, vSmart and vBond and test.
If traffics do not hit the Great Firewall, I think it will work.
I tried IPSEC tunnel from China, and it comes up, but never stays up for too long.
