go-syncrouterules

The project creates routing rules on specific tables for routes based on the next-hop value.

Use case

I've created this to be able to do network routing based on the source IP. The table that the routing rules are added to has a static route to a different uplink, hence that allows you to forward packets coming from specific sources to a different IP and the rest to the main one. The routes can be automatically added using BGP/OSPF/etc and matched with a specific next-hop, once the route is added, a routing rule will be created by the project and will route the subnet under a different routing table.

This could be used for a lot of other things as well - customize it as you will.
