Abstract
A Software-Defined Network (SDN) on a Wide Area Network (WAN) is a computer network that is controlled and created by software. SD-WAN is an emerging research area that has received a lot of attention from industry and government. This technology offers tremendous opportunities to support the creation of consolidated data centers and secure networks. This is an innovation that allows the network to be monitored and programmed so that it can respond to network events caused by security breaches. This solution provides network security, offers a single network management console, and provides complete control over the network architecture. Also controls security in the cloud software-defined infrastructure (SDI), such as dynamically changing the network configuration when forwarding packets, blocking, redirecting, changing Media Access Control (MAC) or Internet Protocol (IP) addresses, limiting the packet flow rate etc. Using SD-WAN technology, it is possible to reduce the cost of dedicated bandwidth channels, achieve a high-quality Virtual Private Network (VPN), and the ability to automatically select a channel for certain channels. The main advantages of SD-WAN are the management of an unlimited number of devices from a single center, reducing the cost of deploying branch infrastructure. According to the results of the survey, 7 % of respondents use SD-WAN for security solutions, 14% at the piloting stage. As a result of the research, it was revealed that by 2024, to increase the flexibility and support of cloud applications, more than 60 % of SD-WAN customers will implement the SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) architecture, which is 30% more than in 2020 and the main concept - application security and cloud functions.

Highlights
Deploying SD WAN is an important task to ensure network management
The work [7] analyzed the security of embedded Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) services on three popular software-defined networks (SDN) controllers: Python and Apache licensed (POX), Open Network Operating System (ONOS) and Floodlight
In the study [22], the DELTA tool is proposed for disclosing SDN vulnerabilities
Summary
Deploying SD WAN is an important task to ensure network management. This technology is becoming popular in the problem of security and in determining the vulnerability of networks. SD-WAN has grown in popularity over the past few years, but the ideas for this technology have been evolving for twenty years or more. This network separates the control and data layers, controlling the network infrastructure through application programming interfaces (API – Application Programming Interface). An important component of the SD-WAN architecture is a controller that centralizes and monitors the state of the network. The developed models of SD-WAN technology indicate the relevance of research on methods of mathematical analysis for the classification of processing time of flows and rational planning of the placement of network elements at the stage of deployment and scaling
