Hi
I am currently experimenting with a hot failover scenario from a wired 1Gig into the router on WAN1, failing over to two bonded cellulars.
I have not been able to get a quick failover without dropped packets. Anything I try, it takes approximately 8 seconds, and during those 8 seconds, a complete loss of stream.
The Google meet call, do not disconnect, so the session stays persistent, however I lose about 8 seconds before the connection picks back up.
I am running this in an events space, with Google Meet on Google Chromebox.
The test I am running, is spinning up a Google meet call, then monitoring it on the far end with my laptop. As I play a video (yes, yes it is Big Buck Bunny, obviously) I unplug the wired cable in WAN 1, and watch the call stop for 8 seconds, and wait for the SpeedFusion VPN tab in status to show me that the connection has failed over.
Settings:
WAN connection status all in Priority 1 on dashboard (screenshot attached)
WAN 1 - wired 1Gig line
Cellular 1 - set to LTE
Cellular 2 - set to LTE
I have set up SFC with two sub-tunnels.
One tunnel for stream smoothing and another for the failover, which is bonding two cellulars.
Images attached so you can see setup specifics.
Outbound policy setup is attached as a screenshot.
I have a google meet chromebox setup to handle the meet call for remote participants. SFC Tunnel 1 is in priority with tunnel 2 as backup
The rest of the data is routed via WAN1, as I don’t want any other traffic using SFC data.
WAN 1 health check settings screenshot attached. I have tried setting these to 1 second and I get the same result
I have also tried routing the traffic via Speedfusion VPN via the “Send all traffic to” selection and selecting the SFC I have created. Then changing the Speedfusion VPN settings Link Failure Detection time to Extreme, and I still get the same result.
Could someone help to take a look through to see what I may be doing wrong here?

Many thanks,
(Apologies if this is in the wrong channel - let me know if this needs moving)
