Techniques for using application network requirements and/or telemetry information from a first networking technology to enhance operation of a second networking technology and optimize wide area network traffic are described herein. The techniques may include establishing a communication network for use by applications of a scalable application service platform, the communication network including a first networking technology and a second networking technology. In this way, a request to establish a connection for use by an application may be received by the first networking technology. The request may include an indication of a threshold service level of the connection. In response to the request, the first networking technology may determine whether the second networking technology is capable of hosting the connection. If the second networking technology is capable of hosting the connection, the connection may be established such that application traffic is sent or received using the second networking technology.
