Policy-based routing with two subnets

Policy-based routing (PBR) can be deployed on two subnets, with each subnet being serviced by its own Exinda appliance. The configuration sets rules to route traffic to another Exinda appliance should one fail.

	Note All traffic between the network components in this diagram is bi-directional.

1. Request to access a location on the Internet is made on a client computer.
2. The request is sent to the router, where the source, destination is analyzed and compared to the policy configured on the router.
3. Based on the results of the analysis, the request is:

   1. sent to the Exinda appliance for optimization, and then back through the router to the requested destination.

   2. sent directly to the requested destination.
