  • Methods, systems, and computer readable media for managing multiple software defined wide area network (SD-WAN) software versions
    Patent number: 11178005
    Abstract: A method for managing multiple software defined wide area network (SD-WAN) software versions includes providing a controller that defines an overall configuration for an SD-WAN and that creates configuration registries for individual SD-WAN appliances to implement their respective portions of the overall configuration. The controller generates, in an intermediate configuration language registry format, a first and second configuration registry for first and second SD-WAN appliance that respectively execute first and second versions of SD-WAN software. The controller respectively transmits the first and second configuration registries to the first and second SD-WAN appliances, which use the first and second configuration registries to configure themselves. The first and second SD-WAN appliances negotiate with each other for common SD-WAN features usable to implement configurations specified in the first and second configuration registries.
