Policy Based Routing vs Traffic Shaping
Developers should learn PBR when designing or managing complex network infrastructures that require granular control over traffic routing, such as in multi-homed networks, load balancing scenarios, or compliance with regulatory requirements meets developers should learn traffic shaping when building applications that require consistent network performance, such as real-time communication tools (e. Here's our take.
Policy Based Routing
