Policy-Based Routing
Policy-Based Routing (PBR) gives you a flexible method of routing packets by allowing you to define
policies for traffic flows, lessening reliance on routes derived from routing protocols. PBR gives you
more control over routing by extending and complementing the existing mechanisms provided by
routing protocols. PBR allows you to specify paths for certain traffic, such as priority traffic over a
high-cost link.
You can set up PBR as a way to route packets based on configured policies. For example, you can
implement routing policies to allow or deny paths based on the identity of a particular end system, or an
application protocol. Enable PBR to provide the following advantages:
•
Equal access
•
Protocol-sensitive routing
•
Source-sensitive routing
•
Routing based on interactive versus batch traffic
•
Routing based on dedicated links
