2 8 1 Policy Based Routing Principle
Policy-based routing (PBR) is a technique that forwards and routes data packets based on policies. It
features stronger control capabilities over data packet forwarding than common routing protocols.
Differences Between PBR and Common Routing
Common routing
o Data packets are forwarded based on the destination IP address and routing table.
PBR
o Data packets are forwarded based on policies.

PBR matches data based on the source IP address, source and destination IP addresses, protocol
type, port number, or packet length and implements policies on matched data.
o Forward data from the specific egress.
o Set the data priority.
