Why each option
Application-aware routing policies are configured as part of a centralized policy within the Cisco SD-WAN solution.
Data policies are usually for localized traffic shaping, filtering, or service chaining, not directly for application-aware routing that influences path selection globally.
Application-aware routing is configured as a component of a centralized policy in Cisco SD-WAN. Centralized policies are configured on vManage and pushed to vSmart, which then distributes the relevant policy information to the WAN Edge devices to make routing decisions based on application performance and link quality.
Localized policies are applied directly on a WAN Edge device for site-specific functions, not for overlay-wide application-aware routing.
Control policies primarily affect routing updates and topology, not directly application-aware routing decisions based on performance metrics.
