The article presents a comprehensive analysis of implementing Software-defined wide area network (SD-WAN) over Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) in the Housing Bank, a major Algerian financial institution. The study uses FortiGate for the SD-WAN solution, comparing it to traditional MPLS and direct internet access. The performance metrics considered include bandwidth, latency, jitter, packet loss, throughput, and quality of service (QoS). Various security measures are also discussed. The paper concludes that SD-WAN over MPLS offers enhanced performance, security, and flexibility, and it also provides insights into future trends such as SASE architecture, AI/ML integration, and emerging transport methods.
