Abstract
Embodiments herein disclose conditioning traffic through multiple data paths of a Software-Defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN). Some embodiments include monitoring a first and a second path through an SD-WAN to reach a destination node, comparing the link utilization for the first and the second path to generate an allocation ratio of the first and the second path, allocating a sequence of data packets to the first and the second path using the allocation ratio to generate a first path data sequence and a second path data sequence, generating a forward error correction (FEC) packet for first path sequence, sending the first path data sequence to the destination node on the first path, sending the second path data sequence to the destination node on the second path, and sending the FEC packet on at least one of the first and the second path.
