Description​
A GCP Forwarding Rule is a network configuration component in Google Cloud Platform that directs incoming traffic to specific destinations. It maps an IP address and port to one or more backend services or target instances, distributing network load across multiple resources. Forwarding rules can be used for load balancing, traffic routing, and network address translation.
