Software Define Wide Area Network (SDWAN) network optimization analysis on radiolink-fiber optic access media migration

Abstract

The development of technology in radiolink networks has grown rapidly and is suitable to be implemented on wide coverage area networks, but weather and physical environment factors greatly affect signal conditions. The background that has been stated, this study proposes migration to fiber optic access media because it is able to send data faster and is not affected by electromagnetic interference and is stable. Furthermore, this study conducted an optimization analysis on the SDWAN (Software Defined Wide Area Network) network, SDWAN functions as a firewall that can provide connectivity support and infrastructure network development in branch offices with system security in one centralized platform. The test method used in this study is a connectivity test from each remote fortigate located in the branch office. While the analysis method used is Quality of Service (QoS), which is a method to find out data delivery (Packet Loss, Delay and Jitter) using the FortiManager application, which is the analytical and experimental proof of concept of the SDWAN network model using the BGP method for auto failover testing.
