Abstract
In one embodiment, a device applies clustering to traffic characteristics of application traffic in a software-defined wide area network (SD-WAN) associated with a particular application, to form a cluster of traffic characteristics. The device selects a tunnel in the SD-WAN to probe. The device generates, based on the cluster, packets that mimic the application traffic. The device probes the selected tunnel by sending the generated packets via the tunnel.
