Networking & Content Delivery Blog
This article provides a comprehensive guide to building a resilient IPv6 network using AWS Cloud WAN, SD-WAN, and Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) tunnels.
- Demonstrates how to create a high-performance hybrid network architecture supporting IPv6
- Uses AWS Cloud WAN Connect with GRE tunnels and Multi-protocol BGP (MP-BGP) for Equal Cost Multi-Path (ECMP) routing
- Covers configuration steps including:
- Creating core network and connect attachments
- Configuring SD-WAN appliances with GRE and BGP
- Implementing IPv6 routing and failover mechanisms
- Shows how to test network resilience by simulating appliance failure
- Provides detailed technical configuration examples using Cisco devices
The solution enables network engineers to build robust IPv6 networks with load balancing and automatic failover capabilities using AWS Cloud WAN.
