    Hi,

    Is there documentation on the algorithm or thresholds used for failover and failback?
    Can the thresholds be adjusted?

    The Gateway Group is set to failover on both packet loss and high latency. The failover and failback worked, multiple times, but it seems to failback quickly, in at least one case it failed back in 2 minutes.

    I would like to set a longer duration where the primary circuit does not experience any latency or packet loss before failing back.

    Also do these log entries mean the latency alarm is being cleared while there is 5% packet loss?

    Thank you.

      If you go to the gateway settings and open the Advanced options you should find some settings to tune the failover behavior.

      I guess, if you enhance the upper packet loss threshold you get, what you want.

        Thank you, I was assuming this would be under Gateway Groups, time to do some reading now!
