Abstract
The invention provides a system and method for identifying a pre-computed path for an incoming connection at a node in a policy-based routing network. The method comprises: examining requirements of the incoming connection; examining policies associated with routes available from the node; identifying at least one policy of the policies which meets the requirements of the incoming connection; and utilizing that one policy for the pre-computed path for the incoming connection.
