How does SASE optimize network performance?

By routing all traffic through a central data center

By using dedicated MPLS circuits for all connections

By integrating networking and security services in a cloud-delivered model

By requiring all traffic to be encrypted, which speeds up processing

In SDN, what is the role of the control plane?

To provide physical connectivity between devices

To encrypt and decrypt network traffic

To forward packets based on MAC addresses

To make decisions about how traffic should be forwarded

What is a key benefit of SD-WAN's traffic management capabilities?

It allows application-aware routing to prioritize critical traffic

It guarantees zero packet loss on all connections

It eliminates the need for any WAN optimization techniques

It requires all traffic to be encrypted, which slows down performance

A network engineer is explaining the benefits of SDN to a colleague. The engineer states that in an SDN architecture, the control plane is centralized and the data plane is distributed. What is the primary advantage of this separation?

It allows for a global view of the network and enables programmatic, centralized policy enforcement

It makes the network more secure by encrypting all control plane traffic

It increases the complexity of each network device, making them more intelligent

It eliminates the need for physical network devices, as all functions are virtualized
