Description

Represents a Route resource.

A route is a rule that specifies how certain packets should be handled by the virtual network. Routes are associated with virtual machines by tag, and the set of routes for a particular virtual machine is called its routing table. For each packet leaving a virtual machine, the system searches that virtual machine's routing table for a single best matching route.

Routes match packets by destination IP address, preferring smaller or more specific ranges over larger ones. If there is a tie, the system selects the route with the smallest priority value. If there is still a tie, it uses the layer three and four packet headers to select just one of the remaining matching routes. The packet is then forwarded as specified by the next_hop field of the winning route -- either to another virtual machine destination, a virtual machine gateway or a Compute Engine-operated gateway. Packets that do not match any route in the sending virtual machine's routing table will be dropped.

A Route resource must have exactly one specification of either nextHopGateway, nextHopInstance, nextHopIp, nextHopVpnTunnel, or nextHopIlb.

Inputs

    
name:
    description:
    - Name of the resource. Provided by the client when the resource is created. The name
      must be 1-63 characters long, and comply with RFC1035. Specifically, the name must

      which means the first character must be a lowercase letter, and all following characters
      must be a dash, lowercase letter, or digit, except the last character, which cannot
      be a dash.
