Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer readable media for selecting a software defined wide area network (SD-WAN) link using network slice information are disclosed. One method occurs at an SD-WAN controller implemented using at least one processor, the method comprises: receiving a packet containing packet header information including at least one internet protocol (IP) address; determining, using the packet header information, a link selection rule for selecting an SD-WAN link for transmission, wherein the link selection rule uses transmission characteristics associated with the packet, wherein the transmission characteristics are discerned using network slice information associated with the packet; selecting, using the link selection rule, the SD-WAN link; and transmitting the packet via the SD-WAN link.
