We are currently pulling all of MPLS connections out of branches, worldwide.

Having two Internet ISP providing redundant path to the internet, is much cheaper than One MPLS and backup shadow MPLS.

What about the QOS? We were puzzled when we saw less jitters, drops and losses from the Internet lines, than from MPLS lines.

Even Vioce calls through SDWAN was indistinguishable from MPLS calls.

Whatever the Voodoo they do in their software, I am impressed.

I am currently replacing all of dmvpn routers with SDWAN image also.

You actually have to see it to believe it.
