Policies

To evaluate the connection quality of the interfaces used for Dynamic Path Selection, the metrics calculated from the measurement profiles are compared to threshold values, and points (as a score) are awarded. These points added up to determine which is the "best" interface. Certain thresholds can be specified as being "critical" (e.g. jitter <= 30 ms). Dynamic load balancer decisions are based on the points total in combination with the exceeded critical threshold values. A DPS policy collects the threshold values and criticality markings that are required to calculate the total points.
