App Routing

App1 Routing is defined as follows:

App Routing is a feature that allows users to route specific apps to different interfaces by matching the app's domains and IP ranges.

Currently MintFlow NetStack support the following Routing Criteria:

  • CIDR

    This is plain CIDR route, such as 0.0.0.0/0, 1.1.1.1/32 which match a IP range or Host. 0.0.0.0/0 is the default route and must be have routes configured.

  • Domain Set

    This is a set where users can add the various domains of a SaaS application or app (like Netflix) and route all traffic related to that set to an interface.

  • CIDR Set

    This is a set where users can add the various IP ranges of a SaaS application or app (like Netflix) and route all traffic related to that set to an interface.

  • DNS fallback

    This is a special route which is used only when App Routing is enabled, it's used to specify which DNS server should be used when iOS apps query a domain that is not present in any of configured Domain Sets.

In the future, if we add a DPI engine to the app, we may route apps based on DPI results.

  1. An App can be a iOS App, or a plain WebSite, or a SAAS application. ↩
