Abstract
Various implementations described herein relate to routing network data traffic using network tunnels. In some implementations, one or more tunnels are established between a remote gateway device and a central gateway device central gateway system. The remote gateway device can receive data traffic from one or more client devices and analyzed the data traffic. Based at least in part on the resulting analysis, the remote gateway device identified an application or an application type associated with the data traffic. The remote gateway device can select one or more select tunnels, from the one or more tunnels, based at least in part on the identification of the application or the application type associated with the data traffic. Eventually, the remote gateway device can route the data traffic to the central gateway system using the one or more select tunnels.
