Other SD WAN platform support

[nilesh150883]

Team,
I know current solution is purely based on cisco platform, but do you have some plan to support for other SD WAN platform also.
if you come across any of such requirement from other team or have some input to share with me, would be great.
Also can you tell me what would be the possible change (may be where to change), if i need to integrate this solution with other SD WAN platform.
thanks in advance.
BR,
Nilesh

@nilesh150883, the Cloud Native SD-WAN project was architected from the beginning with support for multiple SD-WAN platforms in mind. Cisco Viptela SD-WAN is the first supported platform, and we may support others in the future, but we don't have any committed roadmap at this time.

Adding support for other SD-WAN platforms should be relatively simple, if one knows the target platform well. The interface between the reader and the adaptor is well defined, and the server part of this project can be reused. Then, the adaptor_server/configure_controller.py file imports the sdwan library, and calls the appropriate functions for each event type. You will need to make changes in adaptor_library/metadata_adaptor/core_lib.py to implement support for a different platform.

Thank you for the input. As you suggested let me explore for other platform and if any finding will share with you guys.

Cheers.

@nilesh150883 keep us posted of the progress. Would it be possible to share what the other SD-WAN platform is? We would like to be able to keep track of the different efforts, so that we can avoid duplicating work. In case someone else is interested in the same platform, we could point them to you. Thanks!

@ljakab I'm from business team and doing research on new areas. So not sure as of now what would be my target SD WAN system but once our team is ready to work in this space will surely guide to you guys for more input and sharing.
