Virtual Network Services Sample Clauses

Virtual Network Services. SD WAN. Verizon provides intelligent and programmable, rules-based WAN routing services, centralized management, and integration through APIs. This Service Feature maps Customer application traffic over any combination of the internet, wireless or MPLS networks in accordance with Customer defined routing policies. Policies are customizable on an application-by-application basis. As network conditions shift, real-time automated and manual route changes enable Customer traffic to be delivered over the best available connectivity for each application. Additional features that may be available are as follows: • Application Aware Routing (AAR). Verizon will provide AAR which is intended to overcome the limitations of a Customer Site connected to more than one network with respect to routing metrics. AAR allows for flexible utilization of all available network capacity attached to a Customer Site. Customer can establish policies that classify its traffic into categories to the granularity of applications, and define minimal requirements for loss, delay, and jitter per traffic class. AAR also will monitor network performance for each relevant pair of source and destination sites and send traffic onto those paths that best meet Customer’s policies. If network conditions change and such policies cannot be enforced, AAR dynamically rearranges how application traffic is distributed across the available traffic paths in the background, so that an end user will not experience application level performance outside the boundaries set by the policies to the extent that there is enough bandwidth for the traffic. • Centralized enforcement of access control and network policies. Any changes to a policy will be applied across the Customer Network automatically.
