[POST DE DEBATE SOBRE O ASSUNTO]
Opa pessoal!
Em minha infraestrutura eu tenho o escritório na matriz (XGS 3100) conectado a outros quatro escritórios filiais (XGS 136) por Tunel RED, utilizando a configuração RED Server no escritório matriz e RED Client nos quatro escritórios filiais. Todos os firewalls se comunicam e os quatro escritórios filiais utilizam recursos hospedados no escritório da matriz. Cada firewall possui um ISP diferente.
A estrutura está descrita de modo simplificado, a baixo.
Ocorre que recentemente meu chefe questionou o uso da tecnologia RED, ressaltou que utilizamos esta forma de conexão desde a implantação dos firewalls, que possuem outras tecnologias disponíveis e melhores.
Em uma conversa informal, alguns conhecidos defendem imensuravelmente o uso de VPN com suporte a SD-WAN para conexão entre seus firewalls.
Particularmente, vejo algumas pontos de melhoria na tecnologia RED, conheço a tecnologia desde a versão SFOS 16 e sinto a falta de atualizações que deixem o serviço RED mais simplificado para manipulação do tráfego. A escolha do gateway de saída a partir do RED Server por exemplo.

Hey guys!
In my infrastructure, I have the head office (XGS 3100) connected to four other branch offices (XGS 136) via RED Tunnel, using the RED Server configuration at the head office and RED Client at the four branch offices. All firewalls communicate with each other and the four branch offices use resources hosted at the head office. Each firewall has a different ISP.
The structure is described in a simplified manner below.
It turns out that recently my boss questioned the use of RED technology, pointing out that we have been using this form of connection since the firewalls were installed, that there are other and better technologies available.
In an informal conversation, some acquaintances strongly advocate the use of VPN with SD-WAN support for connection between their firewalls.
Personally, I see some points for improvement in RED technology, I have known the technology since version SFOS 16 and I miss the updates that make the RED service simpler for handling traffic. Choosing the exit gateway from the RED Server, for example.
RED site to site is in general the same as a XFRM Route Based VPN. You can use the same techs for it (SD-WAN etc.).
VPN is just "faster" than RED, as it uses the NPU of XGS and it has a more streamlined approach.
