mscRtgRsRouteType
1.3.6.1.4.1.562.36.2.1.40.2.10.1.8
This attribute indicates the type of route that was selected by
RouteSelector.
If no route was selected then routeType has a value of noRoute.
If the destination resides on the current node then routeType has a
value of sameNode.
If the destination resides on a different node and can be reached
directly as opposed to indirectly through a gateway node then
routeType has a value of destinationNode or
destinationNodeLegacy with the latter only possible when legacy
gateway selection algorithm was used (see
gatewaySelectionAlgorithm).
If the destination can be reached indirectly through a gateway node
with the gateway node being different from the current node then
routeType has a value of gatewayNode or gatewayLink depending
on whether or not the route consists of a single gateway link. A
route consists of a single gateway link only when the route
requestor (see routeRequestor) is a Routing Gateway (in inbound or
outbound direction) and the route leads immediately across
topology region or cluster boundary.
If the destination can be reached indirectly through a gateway node
with the gateway node being the current node and the route
requestor (see routeRequestor) is an application service as opposed
to a Routing Gateway then routeType has a value of
routingGateway.
If selected route is a manual route then routeType has a value of
manual.
Note that the type of route, except for manual route, depends on
who is the route requestor (application service, Routing Gateway
serving as inbound or outbound gateway), where it resides (gateway
or non-gateway node), how the destination can be reached (directly
or indirectly through a gateway node), and what is the gateway
selection algorithm (cost-based, random or legacy).
