Traffic Steering Business Use Cases

The table below highlights some of the business use cases of the Traffic Steering feature of Adaptiv Connect.

Use Case	Explanation
Using Dynamic Traffic Steering for Real-Time Services (Zoom, Teams)	By using Dynamic Selection with the ETFA algorithm, traffic is distributed across available links based on real-time utilization. → This ensures that real-time applications such as Zoom or Teams always use the least congested and lowest-latency link, improving call quality, minimizing jitter, and reducing packet loss. As a result, users experience smooth audio/video performance, even during peak traffic periods, which boosts overall productivity and collaboration.
Applying Local Breakout at the Edge for Non-critical traffic (Recreational Traffic)	By using Breakout at the Edge, non-critical or already encrypted sessions (such as YouTube, social apps, or software updates) are sent directly to the Internet instead of traversing the SD-WAN tunnel. → This may be used to alleviate tunnel congestion and preserve capacity for essential business traffic. → As a result, critical corporate applications run more smoothly and reliably, enhancing overall network performance.
Applying Breakout at the Gateway for Compliance-Sensitive Traffic for Government Services.	By using Breakout at the Gateway, the critical traffic is routed through the gateway before reaching the public internet. This allows the gateway to perform the security inspection, logging and other policy enforcement. → This ensures this sensitive traffic remains secure, monitored and compliant with the Government standards.

Explanation

Using Dynamic Traffic Steering for Real-Time Services (Zoom, Teams)

By using Dynamic Selection with the ETFA algorithm, traffic is distributed across available links based on real-time utilization.

→ This ensures that real-time applications such as Zoom or Teams always use the least congested and lowest-latency link, improving call quality, minimizing jitter, and reducing packet loss. As a result, users experience smooth audio/video performance, even during peak traffic periods, which boosts overall productivity and collaboration.

Applying Local Breakout at the Edge for Non-critical traffic (Recreational Traffic)

By using Breakout at the Edge, non-critical or already encrypted sessions (such as YouTube, social apps, or software updates) are sent directly to the Internet instead of traversing the SD-WAN tunnel.

→ This may be used to alleviate tunnel congestion and preserve capacity for essential business traffic.

→ As a result, critical corporate applications run more smoothly and reliably, enhancing overall network performance.

Applying Breakout at the Gateway for Compliance-Sensitive Traffic for Government Services.

By using Breakout at the Gateway, the critical traffic is routed through the gateway before reaching the public internet. This allows the gateway to perform the security inspection, logging and other policy enforcement.

→ This ensures this sensitive traffic remains secure, monitored and compliant with the Government standards.
