Who owns and operates the endpoint?

• A. Subscriber
• B. Service Provider
• C. End User
• D. UCS provider

Answer: (A)

Ownership and operation of the endpoint in an SD-WAN setup is about who controls the customer edge device at the customer’s site. In MEF SD-WAN models, the subscriber—the customer organization—owns and manages that endpoint (the customer premises equipment used at the site). The service provider handles the underlying transport and the SD-WAN overlay, but does not own or operate the customer-side endpoint. The end user is the person using the service, not the device owner, and a UCS provider isn’t a recognized role in this framework. So the endpoint is owned and operated by the subscriber.
