Abstract
Systems and methods for multi-links software-defined wide area network (SD-WAN) using phone mobile hotspots include a network device that receives, from a client, a request to establish a connection with a data source. The network device may select, responsive to receiving the request, a connection between the network device and one of the first registered cellular device or the second registered cellular device via which the network device is to transmit network traffic corresponding to the request, the first registered cellular device and the second registered cellular device registered with the network device and having a respective cellular connection. The network device may transmit network traffic corresponding to the request from the client via the connection to the data source.
