Network services relay traffic over the network and apply network functions such as WAN optimization, traffic shaping and identification, and data protection. Multiple network services can be combined into a service chain to sequentially apply the functions of these services to traffic when it is transmitted to its destination.
You can create a network service template to easily deploy this service within tenants.
The main network service responsible for the deployment and operation of Kaspersky SD-WAN is the SD-WAN service. This service is the first to be created, it encompasses the components that are part of the control plane. At least one SD-WAN service is deployed within each SD-WAN instance.
Network services and their templates are created using a graphical design tool. It allows visually constructing a service topology by placing the following components into it:
Links are connected to network components and interfaces to create the topology of the network service. You can link separately created network services by placing a shared network service (shared NS) in their topology.
An example of a network service topology is shown in the figure below.
