Click Configuration > Network > Routing to open the Policy Route screen. 
Use this screen to see the configured policy routes and turn policy routing based 
bandwidth management on or off.

A policy route defines the matching criteria and the action to take when a packet 
meets the criteria. The action is taken only when all the criteria are met. The 
criteria can include the user name, source address and incoming interface, 
destination address, schedule, IP protocol (ICMP, UDP, TCP, etc.) and port.

The actions that can be taken include:

• Routing the packet to a different gateway, outgoing interface, VPN tunnel, or 

trunk.

• Limiting the amount of bandwidth available and setting a priority for traffic.

IPPR follows the existing packet filtering facility of RAS in style and in 
implementation.
