The content of the zero configuration template configuration herein includes, but is not limited to, the following:
the IP address of a data plane port, the IP address of a control channel, a minimum flow table for data plane forwarding (ARP data flow sends the control channel up; flooding data flow sent down by the control channel is forwarded to all data ports), a simplest matching strategy of equipment (unknown data flow sends all controllers up), and a minimum data plane forwarding strategy (such as minimum delay, minimum hop count and the like).
Step 102, determining whether the edge device is normally started through a management link established with the edge device.

Step 302, sending multiple types of application flows to a test terminal accessing to an edge device of an opposite terminal through the test terminal accessing to the edge device.
When the edge device receives the application flow, the type of the application flow is determined, and a link for forwarding the application flow is determined according to a pre-configured service identification template.
The plurality of types of application flows include any combination of the following:
video application stream, mail application stream, file sharing stream, office OA stream, voice stream.
Among them, the video application stream, such as RSTP protocol data stream;

video application traffic, mail application traffic, file sharing traffic, office OA traffic, voice traffic.
5. The method of claim 1, further comprising:
sending a command of issuing a flow prohibition template to an SD-WAN controller, so that the SD-WAN controller issues the flow prohibition template to the edge device;
sending the flow which is appointed to be forbidden to be forwarded in the forbidden template through a test terminal which is accessed to the edge equipment;
monitoring whether the edge device forwards the received traffic, and determining whether the edge device can forbid forwarding the application traffic prohibited by the traffic prohibition template.
6. The method according to any one of claims 1-5, wherein the method further comprises:
sending a control channel disconnection instruction to an SD-WAN controller to enable the SD-WAN controller to disconnect a control channel with an edge device;
initiating a data flow through a test terminal accessed to the edge device;
and monitoring whether the data stream is normally forwarded by the edge device and whether the data stream is normally received by the edge device at the opposite end of the edge device.
7. An end-to-end capability benchmarking apparatus based on a software defined wide area network, the apparatus comprising: a strategy unit and a monitoring unit;
the policy unit is used for clearing the existing configuration on the edge device; configuring a management interface on an edge device to cause the edge device to be managed by an SD-WAN controller; establishing a management link with the edge device; and closing the edge device; issuing a starting instruction to an SD-WAN controller to enable the SD-WAN controller to start the edge device through a management interface based on a zero configuration template;
and the monitoring unit is used for determining whether the edge equipment is normally started or not through a management link established with the edge equipment.
8. The apparatus of claim 7,
the policy unit is further used for initializing an access account on the test terminal; controlling the SD-WAN controller to issue a link establishment rule to edge equipment corresponding to the tested end to end, so that two links with different link qualities are established between the edge equipment; sending flow to a test terminal accessed to opposite-end edge equipment by using an initialized access account through the test terminal accessed to the edge equipment;
the monitoring unit is used for sending a query request to the edge equipment accessed by the test terminal for receiving the flow; and determining whether the edge device transmits the traffic through a link with high quality according to the inquired forwarding path of the data stream.
9. An electronic device comprising a memory, a processor and a computer program stored on the memory and executable on the processor, characterized in that the processor implements the method according to any of claims 1-6 when executing the program.
10. A computer-readable storage medium, on which a computer program is stored, which program, when being executed by a processor, is adapted to carry out the method of any one of claims 1 to 6.
