IP Policy Routing

The actions that can be taken include routing the packet to a different gateway (and hence the outgoing
interface) and the TOS and precedence fields in the IP header.

IPPR follows the existing packet filtering facility of ZyNOS in style and in implementation. The policies
are divided into sets, where related policies are grouped together. A user defines the policies before
applying them to an interface or a remote node, in the same fashion as the filters. There are 12 policy sets
with 6 policies in each set.
