Getting started with policy-based routing

Assume you have a TCP application that has the name SECBATCH running on a z/OS® TCP/IP stack. Because this application handles sensitive data sent as batch traffic, you want the traffic to be sent only over secure networks and you want to prefer high bandwidth links over lower bandwidth links. The application creates a TCP socket bound to IP address INADDR_ANY and port 7000.

For the tasks that must be completed to configure the local routing policy to control routing decisions made for traffic sent by the application, see Configuring policy-based routing. Assuming that the link names specified on the routing policy statements are already defined to TCP/IP and OMPROUTE, you do not need to perform additional configuration in the TCP/IP profile or in the OMPROUTE configuration file to enable policy-based routing.
