Routing
Routing is a combination of Fixed Routing and Policy routing which helps the user to transfer data packets from the source to the destination also forwards and routes data packets based on policies or filters. Users can set fixed routing rules by specifying rule name, priority, destination IPs, Outgoing Interface, etc and can selectively apply policies based on specific parameters such as source and destination IP address, source or destination port, protocols or other criteria and then route the packets on user-defined routes.
Routing provides flexible, granular traffic-handling capabilities for forwarding packets. In this way, PBR enables users to achieve optimal bandwidth utilization for business-critical applications.
