Routing
management configures, selects and prioritizes routes
for traffic and messages exchanged amongst various enterprise entities;
implements specified routing policies and preferences; also provides support
for route-reconfiguration, as well as necessary route diversity/fault-tolerance
to fulfill QoS and route-service availability requirements. Routing is a
network control mechanism by which a path is obtained for establishing
communication between a source and a destination. Routing management becomes
more challenging in heterogeneous, multi-domain, multi-technology networks,
with extensive business policies and stringent QoS and reliability requirements
of various applications.
