Enterprise networking refers to the set of physical and virtual equipment, resources, and services that are used to provide required connectivity services among users, information systems, applications, cloud, and the internet in a specific business or mission-oriented environment. Enterprise networks are used across various environments, including corporate offices, utilities, manufacturing, healthcare, retail, and public safety.
A typical example of enterprise networking in the context of a corporate environment is shown in Figure 1. The enterprise Local Area Network (LAN) segment provides connectivity within corporate locations, and the Wide Area Network (WAN) segment interconnects various corporate locations, data centers, Internet, remote workers, applications, and services together.
Enterprise networking is continuously reshaped through technological evolution and new demands. Efficient networking and security technologies like Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) [1] drive technological evolution. SASE combines networking and security functions so that users, devices, and applications can securely connect to remote services relying on the integrated security functions. The demands come primarily from digital transformation, decentralized applications, mobile enterprise devices, working remotely, and advanced security threats/measures. In general, the digital transformation of enterprises is changing the overall enterprise networking landscape in several ways
