Edge SD-WAN Edge SD-WAN Cato Edge SD-WAN works with multiple Internet circuits, CATO providing reliable, high-performance access to Cato’s global, private backbone. Traffic can also be routed over t MPLS, directly between sites (not through the Cato PoP), erne t In and across IPsec tunnels to third-party devices. The Cato Socket, Cato’s Edge SD-WAN device, is a zero- touch device ready to work in minutes once it has power and Internet connectivity. Sockets come in two models: X1500 for branch offices and X1700 for datacenters. Both are continuously monitored and updated by Cato’s MPLS network operations center (NOC). Cato Sockets include: • Link Aggregation that balances inbound • Packet Loss Mitigation techniques and outbound traffic across MPLS and dynamically switch traffic to alternate, better multiple Internet circuits (fiber, DSL, cable, performing link(s) and proactively duplicate 4G/LTE or 5G) to maximize bandwidth packets on a per application basis.
