9.4 The Policy Route Screen
Traditionally, routing is based on the destination address only and the XMG takes the shortest path to
forward a packet. Policy route allows the XMG 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.
