Analysis of MPLS and SD-WAN Network Performances using GNS3

MPLS and SD-WAN are technologies which ensure the quality of service in a different way. MPLS is a network technology which, with its method of routing the network packets, ensures the end-to-end service to users. On the other hand, SD-WAN ensures the global overview of the entire network and central manag-ing thus enabling easy configuration or exchange of the already existing configu-ration system. The topic of this paper is analysis of these two network technolo-gies by having them configured and simulated in the software tool GNS3. After that the analysis of the traffic network has been carried out. Regarding the ever-increasing development of the network technologies, an overview of the SD-WAN technology has been provided, as the new paradigm and its potential future applications.
