Route Policy and Policy Routing

A route policy is used on a router for route filtering and attributes modification when routes are received,
advertised, or redistributed.
Policy routing, also called policy based routing (PBR) is a routing mechanism based on a user-defined
policy.
This chapter describes only route policy configuration and usage.
To configure a route policy, you need to define some filters based on the attributes of routing information,
such as destination address, advertising router's address and so on. The filters can be set beforehand
and then applied to the route policy.

Filters

There are six types of filters: ACL, IP prefix list, AS path ACL, community list, extended community list
and route policy.
