Cato Networks Edge SD-WAN

Top Features

• Link aggregation

  Balances inbound and outbound traffic across MPLS and multiple Internet circuits (fiber, DSL, cable, 4G/LTE or 5G) to maximize bandwidth (active/active) and availability.

• Packet loss mitigation

  These techniques dynamically switch traffic to alternate, better performing link(s) and proactively duplicate packets on a per-application basis. Cato’s architecture eliminates middle-mile packet loss.

• Application identification

  Uses Cato’s advanced Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) engine to automatically identify thousands of applications and millions of domains on the first packet.

• Bandwidth management rules

  Ensure that more critical applications always receive the necessary upstream and downstream capacity, serving other applications on a best-effort basis.

• Dynamic path selection

  Routes traffic across the optimum transport based on application, user, and real- time link quality (jitter, latency, and packet loss).

• Routing protocol integration

  Leverages BGP to make informed real-time routing decisions, easily integrating a company’s existing routing infrastructure with Cato Edge SD-WAN.

• High availability (HA)

  Carries no additional recurring charge and deployment is simple and completed in minutes. Sockets automatically connect to the best available Cato PoP. Should the connection degrade or fail, the Cato Socket automatically reconnects to the best available PoP.
