Trouble sending only VOIP over SFC WAN Smoothing

Hi All

I have 3 connections bonded in my WAN smoothing SFC profile)

  • Starlink
  • T-Mobile 5G internet
  • 1 cell service with 100GB cap (ROAM 100GB)

I have a speedfusion config with WAN smoothing and an outpound policy for VOIP to use this. I also setup SF Cloud apps to use this (Teams, Zoom, etc)

for some reason I have tons of non-VOIP traffic going over my cell connection (ROAM 100GB)

I configured cloud apps to use WAN Smoothing. One question about this, does it distinguish Cloud VOIP traffic (i…e Teams meetings and not chats, file uploads, etc)

You can see from session list that things like Alexa on my iphone are using the ROAM 100GB

You likely need to turn on expert mode hidden under the ? , and move above the voip rules above the grey bar that is not movable. The grey bar that will appear when you enable expert mode contains all the SFC rules and other peplink internal logic.

Thanks Will give it a try

I looked at this and it didn’t change anything, even if I moved my VOIP rule to the very top
For now, I’ve had to setup a load of rules for specific device types and MAC addresses.

With the exception of one unclassifed device it does seem to be working, but it’s a LOT of rules to manage

Can’t figure out why this is using my ROAM 100GB WAN

We put all our voip devices in a seperate vlan for easy group network rule management and tagging.

Thanks for reply Jonathon. not sure how that would work as all my devices that use VOIP are not dedicated devices. for example, I do Teams calls on my Mac, iPad, iPhone and PC, so I’m only using the OBP with SFC Bonding when on calls,. Rest of time they use priority (Starlink, Then T-Mobile 5G Home Internet)

An approach that has worked for us is to identify the destination for the pertinent services and use OBP to send traffic to those domains or addresses to SFC. (This works flawlessly for SIP telephone where the POPs are unchanging, less well for some other services.) Would that approach work for you?

Possibly but not sure I know all the endpoints. I don’t have dedicated voip devices so it’s easier to use just the sass filters. I think I’ve solved the issue now though.
