DGS-6604 Practical Usage Examples ipv6 route Operators may prefer to specify the forwarding path of certain traffic. By doing this, the traffic of certain applications in the managed domain will always be forwarded to the expected destination. When the network prefixes and prefixlength are both zero, it implies the specific static route is the default route. A default route presents the final forwarding path of choice should the system not find the matched forwarding rule in routing table. By assigning the address of the next-hop only, the system will forward the IP traffic to this address if, there is no matched forwarding rule by default. Imagine the topology as illustrated below. There is a proxy server to access the Intranet. All the users on the Intranet are required to setup this same proxy to communicate with the WEB servers outside the Intranet. However, there is a default gateway configured on the edge route. The HTTP communication from users connected to the edge router will exhaust all the bandwidth available for the Intranet. Therefore, we need a static route to save the bandwidth available for the Intranet. This example shows how to create a static route destined for the network where proxy server resides.
