  1. What is the primary purpose of WAN optimization in Aruba EdgeConnect SD-WAN?

    Answer: To reduce WAN bandwidth consumption and improve application performance through compression, deduplication, and caching

    WAN optimization in Aruba EdgeConnect reduces the volume of data traversing WAN links through data deduplication, compression, and application-layer caching, improving performance and reducing costs.

  2. Which metrics does Aruba SD-WAN monitor to determine the health of a WAN path for real-time applications like VoIP?

    Answer: Packet loss, latency, and jitter

    Aruba SD-WAN continuously measures packet loss, latency, and jitter on each WAN path and uses these metrics to steer real-time application traffic to the path with the best quality.

  3. What is the function of the Aruba EdgeConnect 'Boost' WAN optimization feature?

    Answer: To apply TCP acceleration and data reduction techniques to specific application traffic

    EdgeConnect Boost applies TCP acceleration, data deduplication, and compression to designated application flows, reducing WAN bandwidth usage and improving application response times.

  4. In Aruba SD-WAN, what is 'First Packet Classification' used for?

    Answer: Identifying and routing application traffic based on the very first packet without waiting for full session establishment

    First Packet Classification allows Aruba EdgeConnect to identify applications and apply routing policies from the very first packet, eliminating delays caused by waiting for multiple packets to identify a flow.

  5. What Aruba solution integrates with EdgeConnect SD-WAN to provide cloud-delivered security at branch offices without backhauling traffic to HQ?

    Answer: Security Service Edge (SSE) cloud security integration

    Aruba SD-WAN integrates with cloud-based Security Service Edge (SSE) solutions, allowing branch Internet traffic to be inspected locally by cloud security rather than backhauled to a central data center.

  6. What does 'WAN link bonding' in Aruba SD-WAN allow organizations to achieve?

    Answer: Aggregating multiple WAN links to provide higher bandwidth and automatic failover for branch traffic

    WAN link bonding in Aruba SD-WAN combines multiple WAN connections (e.g., MPLS + broadband + LTE) to aggregate bandwidth and provide seamless failover if one link degrades or fails.
