IP SDN vs. The Public Internet

Connecting two IP networks spanning a large geographical distance used to be the realm of IPSec tunnels or expensive dedicated layer 2 circuits from ISP’s who happen to have availability where and when you need it. This process involved extensive build-out costs and implementation times, either through the acquisition of equipment capable of the necessary IPSec encryption throughput needed or long-term service contracts with the underlying service provider. IPSec encryption involves its own drawbacks and limitations, including a reliance on public internet infrastructure to deliver packets efficiently between the remote endpoints and the inability of most IPSec encryption hardware to saturate larger uplinks.

Leveraging IP SDN to provide point to point connectivity between two remote sites allows your business to limitlessly scale your connectivity, similar to what most businesses are accustomed to in hyperscale public clouds, while maintaining dedicated interconnectivity with low latency and more throughput than a traditional IPSec tunnel.
