Policy overviewPolicy-based routingYou can use policy-based routing to determine the routing path a packet takes based on thetype of packet or the packet’s source or destination IP addresses or DSCP field. This enablesyou to route different types of traffic over different routes or interfaces. For example, you usepolicy-based routing to route voice traffic over a WAN interface and data traffic over the Internet.Policy-based routing is implemented by means of policy-based routing (PBR) lists. PBR lists aresimilar in many respects to access control lists and QoS lists. However, since there are alsosome key differences, policy-based routing is explained in a separate chapter. Refer toConfiguring policy-based routing on page 273.Managing policy listsYou can manage policy lists on the Avaya G350 Media Gateway with CLI commands. You canalso manage policy lists throughout your network with Avaya QoS Manager. Avaya QoSManager is part of Avaya Integrated Management.
