What are "next hop routing rule" classes used for?

We were able to start discovery on 3 subnets and after doing so, we got several Next Hop Routing Rule CI's in our CMDB. The name is (empty) so I am curious what these are used for? Here is the data:

Dest IP network: 0.0.0.0/24

Next hop IP address: 10.x.x.1 (removed full IP address)

Type: None

Exit Interface Rule: 10.x.x.0/24 (removed full IP address but the 2nd and 3rd set match next hop)

Configuration Item: Server-Name (Windows Server)

 

This is just one example, but we have 150 of these entries. 

 

Note:

The MID server is on a different network, so the router we used to get discovery setup has an SNMP string entered, but its unique to that router. They wanted a string they could disable if discovery causes issues on the network and they can disable that string and not a string used for all the devices. Thus we are not discovering network devices in this first pass. We did this as discovering one router added almost 1000 CI's.
