IPv6 Routing Policy

All routing protocols store their routing information in a common routing table that is maintained by the JUNOS software. From the collected routing information, the JUNOS software calculates the best routes to each destination. These routes are used to forward traffic through the router, and they can be advertised to neighbors through one or more routing protocols.

Routing policy allows you to control the routing information that is transferred between different routing databases. You can filter the routing information so that only some of it is transferred, and you can set properties associated with the routes.

This chapter discusses the following topics that provide information for configuring IPv6 routing policy:

• Routing Policy Overview
• IPv6 Routing Policy Configuration Guidelines
• Summary of Routing Policy Configuration Statements

For a complete discussion of routing policy, see the JUNOS Software Configuration Guide: Policy Framework.
