CHAPTER 13 Policy Forwarding 13.1 Overview Traditionally, routing is based on the destination address only and the ZyXEL Device takes the shortest path to forward a packet. Policy forwarding allows the ZyXEL Device 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. 13.1.1 What You Can Do in this Chapter The Policy Forwarding screens let you view and configure routing policies on the ZyXEL Device (Section 13.2 on page 157). 13.2 The Static Route Screen Click Advanced > Policy Forwarding to open the Policy Forwarding screen.
