CCDE: Cisco Certified Design Expert (Practical) — Question 77

Which two features are advantages of SD-WAN compared to MPLS-based connectivity? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. uses FEC constructs for traffic forwarding, thereby improving efficiency
• B. separates infrastructure and policy
• C. uses policy-based forwarding of real-time traffic with less complexity
• D. unifies the WAN backbone
• E. manages failures through backup links

Correct answer: B, D

Explanation

The correct answers, B and D, highlight that SD-WAN effectively separates infrastructure from policy, allowing for more flexible management, and it unifies the WAN backbone, enhancing network efficiency. The other options, while relevant to aspects of SD-WAN, do not represent primary advantages over MPLS connectivity.
