Implementation of Policy Based Routing in MikroTik

Abstract

In this paper proper BW (Bandwidth) utilization is predicted using policy making decisions by using MikroTik router. Future network demands, high BW as number of devices are increasing day by day and to ensure this suitable network mechanism is needed with the help of policy making scenario. Implementing policies in firewall refrain the unauthorized access and BW is not being efficiently utilized. The results suggest that MikroTik router provides built-in firewall that is not only user-friendly in policy making but also provide QoS (Quality of Service) and makes an efficient utilization of BW resources. Policy based routing facilitates proper network management. Through policy application, network BW can be used appropriately, misuse of BW can be prevented which in turn can enhance QoS.
