Assuming that you understand what is SD-WAN, In this blog I would tell you about how to pursue SDWAN Specialist SilverPeak i.e. SPSP
In my opinion, you can pick up SD-WAN learning with a basic good understanding of CCNA having a bit of MPLS knowledge. However, this is an emerging technology which has its plus and flaws. A comparative study on how the normal scenario of working and SD-WAN benefit to it will give you better view on why SD-WAN and its future prospectus.
