- Source: Policy-based routing
In computer networking, policy-based routing (PBR) is a technique used to make routing decisions based on policies set by the network administrator.
When a router receives a packet it normally decides where to forward it based on the destination address in the packet, which is then used to look up an entry in a routing table. However, in some cases, there may be a need to forward the packet based on other criteria. For example, a network administrator might want to forward a packet based on the source address, not the destination address. This permits routing of packets originating from different sources to different networks even when the destinations are the same and can be useful when interconnecting several private networks.
Policy-based routing may also be based on the size of the packet, the protocol of the payload, or other information available in a packet header or payload.
In the Cisco IOS, PBR is implemented using route maps. Linux supports multiple routing tables since version 2.2. FreeBSD supports PBR using either IPFW, IPFilter or OpenBSD's PF.
Examples
PBR can be used to redirect traffic to a proxy server by using a PBR-aware L3-switch (router). In such deployment, specific source traffic (e.g. HTTP, FTP) can be redirected to a cache engine. This is known as virtual inline deployment.
