In the dynamic landscape of networking, the rXg provides a robust and flexible solution, adapting seamlessly to various deployment scenarios, including those utilizing the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP).

When deployed without BGP, the multiple uplinks operate independently, without requiring any configuration changes or cooperation from the upstream carriers. This makes the deployment of the the rXg SD- WAN feature quick and easy, as the upstream carriers do not need to be involved in any way. Additionally, the multiple uplink control mechanism is transparent, and in many cases, the upstream carriers are unaware that their link is part of the connection pool. The rXg supports multiple uplink control over any number of carriers that are supplying an arbitrary set of uplinks, making it a highly versatile and flexible connectivity solution. The rXg can also be configured to use Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) with its SD-WAN feature, making it a highly flexible and scalable solution for wide area networking. With BGP integration, the SD-WAN can load a full peering table and dynamically exchange routing information with other BGP routers, allowing it to adjust its routing decisions in real-time based on upstream network conditions. This results in improved network stability, increased routing  efficiency, though this does require the cooperation of the uplink providers. The rXg’s SD-WAN feature supports dynamic path selection through its combination of link failover, bandwidth aggregation, and application affinity. The rXg monitors the health of its WAN uplinks and removes failed links from the active pool, while also supporting the explicit configuration of backup uplinks.

The operator can treat multiple WAN uplinks as a single, high bandwidth uplink for cost savings and scalability. The rXg SD-WAN mechanism can also affine specific outgoing traffic to particular WAN uplinks, enabling operators to maximize their utilization of diverse WAN connections. For example, the operator may choose to affine all VoIP traffic to a high SLA leased line, while sending other bulk data through best effort lines. Link affinity can also be used to reserve certain WAN uplinks for public-facing services.
