Overview

The Cisco WAN Automation Engine (WAE) is a powerful, flexible, software-defined networking (SDN) platform. It abstracts and simplifies your WAN environment while making it fully open and programmable. WAE network-modeling technology enables real-time analysis of traffic needs and traffic placement in complex WAN topologies. This Cisco solution uses Cisco Network Service Orchestrator (NSO) as a southbound device to create LSPs.
