Table A — High-Level Overview
| SKU | Scope of Access | Global Reach | Best Use Case |
|---|---|---|---|
| Local | One metro Azure region | No | Local workloads with high egress |
| Standard | All regions in same geopolitical zone | Yes (same geo only) | Multi-region within continent |
| Premium | All Azure regions worldwide | Yes (global) | Global workloads, many VNets |
Table B — Technical Limits & Capabilities
| Capability | Local | Standard | Premium |
|---|---|---|---|
| Route Limit (IPv4) | 4,000 | 4,000 | 10,000 |
| VNet Links | ~10 | ~10 | Up to 100 |
| Data Plan | Local egress included | Metered / Unlimited | Same + Premium add-on |
| Cost Tier | Lowest | Medium | Highest |
Configure ExpressRoute Global Reach
| Feature | ExpressRoute Direct | Standard ExpressRoute (via service provider) |
|---|---|---|
| Connectivity | Direct physical connection to Microsoft’s network at a peering location | Indirect connection through a third-party service provider’s network |
| Control | More control over port provisioning and circuit creation | Less direct control, relies on the provider for port and circuit setup |
| Capacity | 10 Gbps or 100 Gbps port pairs, scalable via multiple circuits | Typically maxes out at 10 Gbps per circuit (though the provider may offer more) |
| Layer | Operates at Layer 2 (data link layer) | Often operates at Layer 3 (network layer) |
| Use Case | Large-scale data ingestion, high-resiliency needs, physical isolation, and precise control | General use cases for private connections to Azure |
