Policy Route (also well known as PBR, policy-based routing) is a feature where you may
need to get a strategy for routing. Then packets will be directed to the specified interface if
they match one of the rules. You can setup your routing in various reasons such as load
balance, security, routing decision, and etc.
Through protocol, mode, IP address, port number and interface configuration, Policy Route
can be used to configure any routing rules to fit actual request. In general, Policy Route can
easily reach the following purposes:

Auto load balance to reduce the loading of the network traffic.
You have to manually create policy rules in order to force the traffic going to dedicate
network interface.

Strict Bind.
Through dedicated interface (WAN/LAN), the data can be sent from the source IP to
the destination IP.

Address Mapping.
Allows you specify the outgoing WAN IP address (es) for an internal private IP address
or a block of internal private IP addresses.

Other routing.
Specify routing policy to determine the direction of the data transmission.
