How does traffic routing occur in route-based mode?

Traffic routing in route-based mode involves using the machine's existing routing table to determine the path for data packets. In this mode, the routing adapter processes the traffic by adhering to the established routes configured on the device itself. This allows for a more dynamic and flexible handling of data, as it can adapt to changes in network topology or requirements without the need for constant reconfiguration of the Zscaler settings.

The configured adapter pulls information from the local routing table to direct traffic to its destination. This means that if there are specific routes for different destinations, the machine will use those defined paths, ensuring that traffic is sent through the appropriate gateways based on the current network conditions and configurations.

Understanding how traffic routing utilizes the machine's routing table is crucial for optimizing network performance and ensuring proper data flow through the Zscaler platform.
