Azure Route Server simplifies dynamic routing between your network virtual
appliance (NVA) and your virtual network. It allows you to exchange routing
information directly through Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) routing protocol
between any NVA that supports the BGP routing protocol and the Azure Software
Defined Network (SDN) in the Azure Virtual Network (VNet) without the need to
manually configure or maintain route tables. Azure Route Server is a fully
managed service and is configured with high availability.

Important

Azure Route Servers created before November 1, 2021, that don't have a public IP
address associated, are deployed with the public preview offering. The public
preview offering is not backed by General Availability SLA and support. To
deploy Azure Route Server with the General Availability offering, and to achieve
General Availability SLA and support, please delete and recreate your Route
Server.


HOW DOES IT WORK?

The following diagram illustrates how Azure Route Server works with an SDWAN NVA
and a security NVA in a virtual network. Once you've established the BGP
peering, Azure Route Server will receive an on-premises route (10.250.0.0/16)
from the SDWAN appliance and a default route (0.0.0.0/0) from the firewall.
These routes are then automatically configured on the VMs in the virtual
network. As a result, all traffic destined to the on-premises network will be
sent to the SDWAN appliance, while all Internet-bound traffic will be sent to
the firewall. In the opposite direction, Azure Route Server will send the
virtual network address (10.1.0.0/16) to both NVAs. The SDWAN appliance can
propagate it further to the on-premises network.




KEY BENEFITS

Azure Route Server simplifies configuration, management, and deployment of your
NVA in your virtual network.

 * You no longer need to manually update the routing table on your NVA whenever
   your virtual network addresses are updated.

 * You no longer need to update User-Defined Routes manually whenever your NVA
   announces new routes or withdraw old ones.

 * You can peer multiple instances of your NVA with Azure Route Server. You can
   configure the BGP attributes in your NVA and, depending on your design (for
   example, active-active for performance or active-passive for resiliency), let
   Azure Route Server know which NVA instance is active or which one is passive.

 * The interface between NVA and Azure Route Server is based on a common
   standard protocol. As long as your NVA supports BGP, you can peer it with
   Azure Route Server. For more information, see Route Server supported routing
   protocols.

 * You can deploy Azure Route Server in any of your new or existing virtual
   network.


ROUTE SERVER LIMITS

Azure Route Server has the following limits (per deployment).

Resource Limit Number of BGP peers 8 Number of routes each BGP peer can
advertise to Azure Route Server 1 1,000 Number of VMs in the virtual network
(including peered virtual networks) that Azure Route Server can support 2 4,000
Number of virtual networks that Azure Route Server can support 250 Number of
virtual network prefixes that Azure Route Server can support 400

1 If your NVA advertises more routes than the limit, the BGP session gets
dropped.

2 The number of VMs that Azure Route Server can support isn’t a hard limit and
it depends on the availability and performance of the underlying infrastructure.

Note

The total number of routes advertised from VNet address space and Route Server
towards ExpressRoute circuit, when Branch-to-branch enabled, must not exceed
1,000. For more information, see Route advertisement limits of ExpressRoute.


PRICING

SERVICE LEVEL AGREEMENT (SLA)
