The low-cost, easily adopted public Internet is an attractive option for reducing bandwidth costs, at least when compared to MPLS. Despite price erosion, MPLS services remain significantly more expensive than Internet services.

Rather than connecting every location to the Internet and then having to secure those locations, legacy WANs backhauled Internet traffic across the MPLS network to a centralized, secured Internet portal. Research shows that DIA bandwidth costs can be as much as 90 percent less than MPLS bandwidth costs.

The market for SD-WAN has been driven in part by its ability to reduce bandwidth costs and improve the performance of cloud access. Security between locations, though, was not an issue provided the WAN was based, as most were, on a private MPLS service. This amicable live-and-let-live separation falls apart with todays SD-WAN.
