PBR OVERVIEW
Branch offices need the freedom to implement packet forwarding and routing
according to their own defined policies in a way that goes beyond traditional
forwarding and routing algorithms. PBR is useful in deployments, where
administrative issues dictate that traffic be routed through specific paths. By using
PBR, customers can implement policies that selectively cause packets to take
different paths.
PBR provides the ability to route traffic based on attributes other than the
destination IP address. Attributes like source IP address, protocol type can be
used to define policies and apply them to an interface.
ALCATEL-LUCENT SPECIFIC OVERVIEW
• OmniAccess 5740 USG supports PBR that allows routing of packets based on
policies (match-lists) to a specified egress interface/next hop.
• OmniAccess 5740 USG shall support PBR as an infrastructure for other software
components to add system PBR rules. This shall enable the applications to treat
certain traffic in a special way.
