    Abstract: According to some embodiments, a software defined wide area network (SD-WAN) includes a first region and a second region. The first region includes multiple first routing controllers and multiple first SD-WAN edge routers. The second region includes multiple second routing controllers and multiple second SD-WAN edge routers. Each first SD-WAN edge router of the first region is configured to establish Overlay Management Protocol (OMP) peering connections with the plurality of first routing controllers of the first region but to avoid establishing OMP peering connections with the plurality of second routing controllers of the second region. Each second SD-WAN edge router of the second region is configured to establish OMP peering connections with the plurality of second routing controllers of the second region but to avoid establishing OMP peering connections with the plurality of first routing controllers of the first region.

    Abstract: A network controller can register WAN edge routers and WAN optimizers distributed across a WAN. The controller can receive a request to establish a WAN optimized connection between first and second hosts. The controller can identify a first WAN optimizer to perform first services (e.g., de-duplication, compression, application acceleration, caching, etc.) for first traffic from the first host to the second host and first complementary services for second traffic from the second host to the first host, and a second WAN optimizer for the second traffic and second complementary services for the first traffic. The controller can establish the optimized connection comprising a first path including the first host, WAN optimizer, and router; a second path including the first router and a second router, and a third path including the second router, WAN optimizer, and host. The controller can route the first and second traffic through the optimized connection.
