[Xorp-hackers] Query on Policy-Based Routing

No but it's a good one to add... especially for RIP i guess.
[I don't think BGP cares about interfaces... only about peers]

------ With respect to this, could we know whether you plan to add this on
your agenda. What functionality is interesting, is to have policy-based
routing. For example, using ACL to match subset of traffic characteristics
(for example, dest IP addresses, interface addresses) and then specifying
different routing policies.

Thanks,
