Oracle SD-WAN Edge 7.0 introduces the ability to replace a Customer Edge Router with a Oracle Adaptive Private Network Appliance. This is accomplished by leveraging the Oracle APNA's ability to masquerade its Local Autonomous System (AS) number (on a per-neighbor basis) so that it can peer with a Provider Edge (PE) Router in the same way that a Customer Edge (CE) Router does. The Oracle APNA can peer with other BGP neighbors as well, using either its true Local AS number or a masqueraded AS number.
