Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
Cloud OnRamp for SaaS is a Cisco SD-WAN feature that enhances SaaS application performance by dynamically monitoring path performance for SaaS applications and selecting the best-performing path in real-time. This ensures optimal user experience for SaaS applications like Office 365 and Salesforce.
- A. Incorrect.
Application-Aware Routing is used to dynamically route traffic based on performance metrics, but it is not specific to SaaS optimization or integrating with SaaS providers.
- B. Incorrect.
Direct Internet Access (DIA) allows local breakout of internet traffic, which may reduce latency for SaaS applications, but it does not provide dynamic link performance monitoring or optimization for SaaS.
- C. Correct.
Cloud OnRamp for SaaS is designed specifically to optimize SaaS application performance by monitoring multiple paths and dynamically selecting the best-performing path for SaaS traffic.
- D. Incorrect.
Path MTU Discovery is used to determine the maximum transmission unit for a network path, which is unrelated to SaaS performance optimization.
