Which component calculates Quality of Experience in a Cloud OnRamp environment?

The WAN Edge device, positioned at the network's edge, actively monitors real-time network conditions such as latency, jitter, and packet loss for application traffic. Based on this data, the WAN Edge device calculates Quality of Experience (QoE) scores, providing granular insights into application performance from the user's perspective.

The SD-WAN Validator (vBond) primarily handles initial authentication and orchestration, not QoE calculation.

The SD-WAN Controller (vSmart) is responsible for central routing and policy enforcement, but does not directly calculate QoE metrics from data plane traffic.

The SD-WAN Manager (vManage) collects, aggregates, and reports QoE data, but the actual calculation is performed by the WAN Edge devices.
