Application traffic binding to specific network interface

Windows lacks a lightweight native tool to route specific executable traffic to designated NICs; existing proxy-based solutions introduce unacceptable latency and jitter for UDP-based real-time applications like gaming.

I am looking for a Windows-based solution to bind the network traffic of a specific executable to a designated network interface. There are already a number of tools that can force an application’s traffic through a Layer-4 or Layer-7 proxy (for example, Sockscap64, Netch, etc.). However, in my experience, such approaches are not well suited for latency-sensitive UDP traffic, especially in real-”
