Dislike

Session handover has sometimes I faced this issue for example, issue faced with Microsoft Teams' traffic we have two internet line services and both internet line config in sd-wan, if one internet line has some issue such packet loss and jitter based on SLA it must we teams traffic route to secondary internet line which is best performance, normal session does not handover such kind of issue
