I was lucky enough a few weeks ago to get a Velocloud SD-WAN by VMware router for my homelab. This post won't be about all the features and capabilities of Velocloud, but there is one particular capability that, although useful, causes a few challenges with Horizon and Identity Manager.I'm talking about Dynamic Multi Path Optimisation. Being an End User Computing specialist, I'm not going to pretend I am a networking expert but I will try to explain it as best as I can. On my Veloloud Edge Router in my lab, traffic is dynamically routed through the Velocloud Edge Gateway hosted by VMware on the megaclouds like AWS. Read the document linked above, but what it allows is Velocloud to optimise and improve internet and network traffic when routed through one of these Gateways.
However, after setting one of these bad boys in my homelab I noticed that things weren't quite working quite as expected for Horizon and Identity Manager.
