Abstract
A method for shaping traffic from an egress port in a software-defined wide-area network (SD-WAN) involves obtaining a stored network bandwidth measurement of the network bandwidth between a source endpoint and a destination endpoint, obtaining a current shaping rate used by the source endpoint when sending data to the destination endpoint, obtaining an updated measurement of the network bandwidth between the source endpoint and the destination endpoint, wherein the updated measurement of network bandwidth is obtained from an SD-WAN controller, determining a new shaping rate based on the stored network bandwidth measurement, the current shaping rate measurement, and the updated measurement of network bandwidth, and configuring the shaping rate used by the source endpoint when sending data to the destination endpoint with the new shaping rate.
