SD-WAN Note

Orchestration Plane => ZTP vBond (Act/Act)

- Automated onboarding of SD-WAN edge routers into the overlay network

Management Plane => vManage (Act/Pass)

- Handles centralized administration and monitoring

Control Plane => vSmart (Act/Act)
Data Plane => vEdge

Control Plane
-ZTP use DTLS to communicate vEdge.
-All control connections between SD-WAN devices use DTLS v1.2

Data Plane
vEdge to vEdge uses IPsec

Overlay Management Protocol (OMP / Cisco proprietary protocol)

Runs between vSmart and vSmart & vEdge

Similar BGP, handles routing information for the SD-WAN overlay network.

Distributes control plane and data plane policies, data-plane IPsec keys and exchange routing.
