What are two benefits of implementing a traditional WAN instead of an SD-WAN solution? (Choose two.)

Traditional WANs typically have less abstraction in the control plane because routing protocols and device configurations are directly managed on each individual device. This direct control means less abstraction compared to SD-WANs where a centralized controller abstractly manages the entire network.

SD-WAN solutions generally offer faster fault detection due to centralized visibility and proactive monitoring capabilities, unlike traditional WANs which rely more on distributed monitoring and reactive troubleshooting.

SD-WAN solutions are designed for simplified troubleshooting through centralized visibility, analytics, and policy-driven management, which is often more complex in traditional WANs.

SD-WAN solutions inherently provide comprehensive configuration standardization through their centralized controllers and policy-based automation, which is typically harder to achieve and maintain in traditional WANs.

Traditional WANs often have lower data plane overhead because they typically rely on simpler forwarding mechanisms and less encapsulation compared to SD-WANs, which often use tunnels (e.g., IPsec, GRE) that add header overhead to packets.
