Policy Rules

Policy Based Routing & Settings

Policy-based routing (PBR) is a technique that forwards and routes data packets based on policies or filters. User 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.

Policy-based 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.
