Traditional hub-and-spoke networking has enterprises backhauling WAN traffic from branches over MPLS circuits to a central site and applying security policies before sending the traffic to the cloud or the public Internet. All PoPs are interconnected using fully-meshed, encrypted tunnels to protect traffic once it is on the network.
