Cyber-Physical System (CPS) has emerged as the new paradigm converging the physical and cyber technologies, and has served as the cornerstone to realize IoT (Internet of Things) and IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things). Today, CPS has been embedded in critical infrastructures to converge computational domain and physical sensors and actuators to assure mission-critical application serviceability and performance. The embedded CPS allows precise and real-time interactions between computing devices and physical environments, and thus becomes a phenomenon in manufacturing, utility plants, chemical engineering, transportations and medical.

SD-WAN has been one of the hottest and fastest-growing technologies in the networking industry for the past years, and the main reasons include ease of deployments, simplified maintenance and management, and the cost reduction. For communication service providers (CSPs), SD-WAN presents a revenue opportunity as they have been encountered with increasing demands for SaaS (software as a service) applications and cloud-based services, which have become a burden for their bandwidth and traffic routing. SD-WAN provides the agility and flexibility to enable CSP with the enhanced bandwidth to meet the pace of today’s networking demands.
