Move Flows
Understand the Move Flows option when setting a performance policy rule and both the
modes of flow.
The
Move Flows action now offers greater
flexibility for managing traffic, maintaining performance, and enforcing SLA
requirements. With the addition of the App/Network SLA Rule Type, Move Flows provides
better traffic control.
Previously, the action only excluded SLA violating paths for new flows, leaving
existing flows unchanged and relying on Link Quality and Application Metrics unless the
field was empty. Now, you can choose between
Move Flows Graceful
and
Move Flows Forced for more control:
- Move Flows Graceful moves existing flows and excludes
paths for new flows that violate SLAs, considering Link Quality and Probe
Metrics.
- Move Flows Forced actively shifts flows from
non-performing paths to better ones, even across NAT boundaries, using Link
Quality and Application/Probe Metrics. It is triggered by events such as WAN
interface changes, link degradation, app unreachability, probe failures, or path
revalidation.
The action supports a wide range of path types, including Private L2, Direct
(Public/Private), SD-WAN VPNs (Public/Private), and Third-Party VPNs (Public/Private).
It works across combinations of active and backup paths like Direct Internet, Direct
Private, Public/Private VPN, Standard VPN, and enterprise VPN configurations.
