Policy Management

Policy management allows network service providers to implement packet forwarding and routing specifically tailored to their customer's requirements. Using policy management, customers can implement policies that selectively cause packets to take different paths. Policy management provides several types of services:

• Policy routing—Predefines packet flow to a destination port or IP address
• QoS classification and marking—Marks packets of a packet flow.
• Packet forwarding—Allows forwarding of a packet flow.
• Packet filtering—Drops packets of a packet flow.
• Packet logging—Logs packets of a packet flow.
• Rate limiting—Enforces line rates below the physical line rate of the port and sets limits on packet flows.
• RADIUS policy support—Allows you to attached a preconfigured policy to an interface through RADIUS.

See JUNOSe Policy and QoS Configuration Guide, Chapter 1, Configuring Policy Management, for details about configuring policy management.
