In other words, it is understood that WAN compression will not occur. Is the bandwidth value in the catalog of the SD-WAN appliance based on the compression being applied?</SPAN></P> Thu, 13 Mar 2025 01:47:23 GMT https://community.extremenetworks.com/t5/sd-wan-general/question-of-sd-wan-amp-fabric-extend/m-p/118198#M38 SusumuH 2025-03-13T01:47:23Z https://community.extremenetworks.com/t5/sd-wan-general/question-of-sd-wan-amp-fabric-extend/m-p/121179#M56 <P>No. The catalog bandwidth reflects the appliance’s raw throughput, without factoring in compression.<BR />Even with WAN optimization disabled (as in Fabric Extend), that number already represents the real forwarding capacity.
