Create a custom path quality profile on Strata Cloud Manager for firewalls leveraging SD-WAN. A path quality profile allows you to define unique network quality requirements for business-critical and latency-sensitive applications, application filters, application groups, services, service objects and service group objects that have requirements based on latency, jitter, and packet loss percentage. Applications and services can share a path Quality profile. Specify the maximum threshold for each parameter, above which the firewall considers the path deteriorated enough to select a better path.

The firewall treats the latency, jitter, and packet loss thresholds as OR conditions, meaning if any one of the thresholds is exceeded, the firewall selects the new best (preferred) path. Any path that has latency, jitter, and packet loss less than or equal to all three thresholds is considered qualified and the firewall selected the path based on the associated Traffic Distribution profile.
