[HamWAN PSDR] Policy routing for dummies

[Bart Kus]

HamWAN's Open Peering Policy includes Policy Based Routing as part of 
the solution:

Have a read through it, and once you understand it, you can apply the 
same PBR ideas just to a different interface (RF link vs VPN tunnel).

The magic decoder ring for packet flow inside RouterOS is that it's just 
Linux underneath so you can use the following netfilter diagram:

They also publish RouterOS specific (and re-formatted) diagrams of their 
own:

But if you stare at both diagrams long enough, you'll realize they're 
pretty much identical, despite the different graphical representation.

Good luck!
