Description: Granular routing refers to a network routing management approach that allows detailed control over data routes and policies. Unlike more general routing methods that may apply policies uniformly to large groups of traffic, granular routing enables network administrators to define specific rules for different types of traffic, users, or applications. This is achieved through the use of advanced protocols like BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) and other routing protocols, which facilitate more precise decision-making on how data is routed across the network. Key features of granular routing include the ability to prioritize certain types of traffic, implement stricter security policies, and optimize bandwidth usage. This approach is especially relevant in environments where quality of service (QoS) is critical, such as in real-time video streaming or in enterprise applications that require high availability and low latency. In summary, granular routing represents an evolution in network management, allowing for finer control tailored to the specific needs of each organization.
