Overview
The Cisco WAN Automation Engine (WAE) is a powerful, flexible, software-defined networking (SDN) platform. It abstracts and simplifies your WAN environment while making it fully open and programmable. WAE network-modeling technology enables real-time analysis of traffic needs and traffic placement in complex WAN topologies. This demonstration describes segment routing and the WAN Automation Engine, and it highlights how they combine to deliver on the promise of an intelligent, dynamic, highly optimized network.
