9.4 The Policy Route Screen
Traditionally, routing is based on the destination address only and the GPON Device takes the
shortest path to forward a packet. Policy route allows the GPON Device to override the default
routing behavior and alter the packet forwarding based on the policy defined by the network
administrator. Policy-based routing is applied to outgoing packets, prior to the normal routing.
You can use source-based policy forwarding to direct traffic from different users through different
connections or distribute traffic among multiple paths for load sharing.
