Hi @Harshi_0614 ,
Yes,From SonicOS 6.5. series we support the application based routing.
So you can create a application object with all Skype and video related application and then group them.
Then configure a static route on the sonicwall and use the dedicated WAN IP address in the route policy.
Please refer the KB below:
I hope this works.

Hello @Harshi_0614,
I would just like to add that this was introduced in 6.5.2.x onwards. Also, the firewall does not apply this as soon as the route policy is created as we see for a normal PBR (Policy based routing).
It learns about the protocol ID, the IPs that it contacts, the services that it uses and adds that to its App-ID cache and then for all subsequent connections made it uses the static route added for the application.
So, once you add this route, please give the firewall some time to learn the same and then apply this routing action.
Thanks!
