[c-nsp] Intelligent Bandwidth Management

[Shawn L]

I have one customer (medium sized medical institution) that has 1 main
office and 5-6 branches that replaced their MPLS circuits with SD-Wan.
They run their network traffic and VoIP phone system over it without
issue.  Saved them a large chunk of $$ too, converting their MPLS circuits
to Internet.  They were able to leverage part of that savings into getting
Internet bandwidth from redundant providers at some sites.

There are some trade-offs.  They lost some degree of management -- mainly
fighting with the SD-WAN devices to make them do what you expect them to,
vs what they want to do.  But they seem fairly happy with their decision.
