From the Technology Graveyard
You just read about SD-WAN. Here is what it replaced:
MPLS served from 1997. What ultimately replaced it?
MPLS routers prepend a short label to each packet; downstream label-switched routers forward by label swap along pre-computed paths (LSPs) instead of per-hop IP lookups, enabling traffic engineering and VPNs. Its job passed to SD-WAN — but the problem it solved, and the ideas it proved, live on in what replaced it. The standard rests here in the archive. One of 198 technologies here that opened a door and then held it for the next.
