What is Policy Based Routing (PBR)?

Nowadays, network traffic nature becomes very complicated in terms of the mixture of applications and their connectivity requirements. Achieving these requirements by means of traditional routing mechanisms may become cumbersome or even impossible and requires special dedicated solutions. Additionally, organizations need to focus on operational costs more strictly than in the past. One good direction to achieve this goal is the optimization of resource usage within different domains. Networking is one such domain, where the objective is to rationally maximize the usage of existing infrastructure rather than making an investment in increasing its capacity.

That's why in this article, we would like to shed some light on network automation itself.
