1. An edge-gateway multipath method comprising:

  • providing an edge device in a local network communicatively coupled with a cloud-computing service in a cloud-computing network;

    automatically detecting a set of wide area network (WAN) links connected directly to the edge device or via an intermediate router;

    automatically measuring the bandwidth of the WAN links communicatively coupling the edge device with a central configuration point in the cloud-computing network;

    downloading, from the central configuration point, an enterprise-specific configuration data into the edge device, wherein the enterprise-specific configuration data comprises a gateway information; and

    communicatively coupling the edge device with a gateway in the cloud-computing network, wherein the communicatively coupling of the edge device with the gateway comprises a multipath (MP) protocol.
