Source-based routing

The ITNCM - Base Source Address Definition feature enables an ITNCM - Base defined IP address to be forced as the source address on an IP packet. This controls packet creation, and allows the user to dictate how each packet is handled by way of the source address.

The ITNCM - Base Source Address Definition feature has been implemented to enable source based routing, external to ITNCM - Base, for overlapping IP address spaces. By allowing ITNCM - Base to specify the source IP address, a downstream router can route the packet based on that IP address. This enables network resources in ITNCM - Base to have the same IP address. By segregating these resources by the source IP address, multiple systems with identical IP addresses can be managed by the ITNCM - Base software.
