[c-nsp] routing based on source port

[Vikas Sharma]

Hi Oliver,

I am working with CDMA operator. Since RF (medium) is very unstable, as you
may get time to time week or strong RF, to optimize the Data flow over RF,
we have implemented some optimization products. I hope now "Data flow over
RF" is clear.

We have PDSN as an access server and AAA we used to authenticate the user.
After authentication user is given a profile and and IP from the
corresponding IP pool in PDSN is allocated to the user. Here due to some
restriction I can not create a seperate user otherwise i can easily do
reverse routing for that IP pool. I hope now you must have understood the
scenario.

It will be good if you /anyone can help me on WCCP.

Regards
Vikas Sharma
