Policy depends on the situation you're in .. The most common meanings of
"policy" I've seen in a BGP environment are :
a) policy as in policy routing - route-maps and the like
b) policy as in international and domestic traffic being divided .. as in
you can ask for just international traffic/routes from your ISP or you can
ask for just domestic traffic from your ISP.
c) t's and c's of your ISP .. for example if you have a BGP peering session
with your ISP, its part of your ISP's policy to only route traffic that has
been registered in the RADB .. for argument's sake.
