Dynamic-Path-Selection

Used in an SD-WAN scenario where several lines are available, Dynamic Path Selection optimizes the application performance by directing the data traffic over the line with the best quality according to metrics such as load, packet loss, latency or jitter.

Dynamic Path Selection is activated on a load balancer (see 2.8.10.2.16 LB-Policy). A load balancer can be defined either for Internet connections or for SD-WAN overlay tunnels (VPN). The end point for ICMP test packets can either be any IP address or the central-site SD-WAN gateway.
