VoIP family filter is missing while upgrading from release 3.8.5. VoIP reports will not be generated.

Workaround

Open the PQB in 3.8.5 SCABB and move the Qik protocol from Video protocol filter to VoIP protocol filter and save the configurations as.pqb file. Now open the saved PQB file in 4.1.0 SCABB, the VoIP protocol filter should be visible.
