8.0 Request Route Policy

This policy is used to bind the listener configuration, the back-end server configuration, and the other policies. The condition in the request route policy determines the identity of an incoming request. Based on the identity, the request route policy performs an action on the incoming request. This action could include transforming the incoming request by applying some other policy. The request route policy has no default action. If the request route policy is unable to establish the identity of an incoming request then that request is ignored.For every listener configured there should be at the least one request route policy associated with the listener. For each listener any number of request route policies could be configured. The most restrictive request route policy should be applied first to the request coming in through the listener.
