    abstract =  {This document illustrates how a BGP-based control plane can be used to manage large scale Software Defined WAN (SD-WAN) overlay networks by distributing edge service reachability information, WAN port attributes, and underlay path details, thereby minimizing manual provisioning. In such deployments, BGP can provide a standards-based mechanism for distributing information that may otherwise be exchanged using proprietary SD-WAN control-plane mechanisms. However, extensions to BGP are needed to achieve that goal.},
