14.1 Overview

Traditionally, routing is based on the destination address only and the CellPipe
7130 RG takes the shortest path to forward a packet. Policy forwarding allows the
CellPipe 7130 RG 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.
