Description

For Azure ExpressRoute customers who require a large number of Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) routes, global connectivity, or more Azure virtual network links per circuit, we’ve introduced the ExpressRoute Premium add-on package. This add-on can be applied over the ExpressRoute Network Service Provider or Exchange Provider circuits, increasing the limit for public and private peering from 4,000 to 10,000 routes. In addition, the ExpressRoute Premium add-on provides global connectivity (for example, a virtual network created in West Europe can be accessed through an ExpressRoute circuit provisioned in the West US region). It allows more than 10 virtual network links per ExpressRoute circuit, with the exact limit depending on circuit bandwidth. For more information, please visit the ExpressRoute page and the ExpressRoute Technical Overview documentation page. For pricing information, please visit the ExpressRoute Pricing page. Note  The new ExpressRoute Premium add-on will show up as “BGP Routes” on your monthly bill and usage download file until June 22, 2015.
