Which term denotes the SD-WAN service provider?

• A. SD-WAN Subscriber
• B. UNI
• C. PVC
• D. SD-WAN Service Provider

Answer: (D)

Identifying who delivers the connectivity in an SD-WAN deployment is essential. The SD-WAN service provider is the entity that offers and manages the SD-WAN service, providing the underlying transport, orchestration, security, and policy enforcement that connect the edge devices across the customer sites. The other terms describe different roles or concepts: the subscriber is the customer organizations using the service; UNI (User-Network Interface) is the boundary where customer equipment connects to the provider’s network; PVC refers to an older MPLS concept of a dedicated virtual circuit. Therefore, the term that denotes the party delivering the SD-WAN service is the SD-WAN Service Provider.
