Citrix SD-WAN advantage |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Path selection |
Packet-based path selection in real-time allows for rapid adoption to network changes and provides a better user experience. | |||||
Failover effectiveness | Citrix SD-WAN monitors every packet to detect failure quickly and eliminate any impact to an application session. | |||||
Path measurement & recovery speed | Citrix SD-WAN responds to latency, jitter, packet loss and congestion changes in milliseconds. | |||||
Packet duplication | Citrix SD-WAN ensures lossless delivery of VoIP and other mission critical applications. FEC benefits are less guaranteed and can't be applied to just specific applications. | |||||
Unidirectional path selection | Applications are not symmetric, so symmetric measurement and selection are inefficient. Citrix SD-WAN supports asymmetric routing, delivering optimal efficiency. |
