With the development of The Times, the progress of network technology and the increasingly complex market situation, under the wave of digital transformation and industry 4.0, China's manufacturing industry is facing the strategic task of improving production and manufacturing efficiency, industrial structure adjustment, and transformation to intelligent manufacturing. At the same time, the current new generation of information technology and the deep integration of manufacturing, manufacturing enterprises are gradually moving towards a comprehensive intelligent industry 4.0. With the advent of digitalization, cloud transformation and industrial chain transfer and other trends, the branch and headquarters of the traditional WAN of the enterprise are more and more widely distributed, and the interconnection between branches, branch cloud, POP networking and traditional network interconnection make the network connection more and more complex, so the enterprise also ushered in new challenges.
