Description

Azure Application Gateway V2 now supports enabling dedicated connections from Application Gateway to backend server. 

By default, Application Gateway reuses the idle backend connections to optimize the resource usage of TCP connections helping both the gateway and the backend servers. With the dedicated connection setting, each incoming client connection is mapped to a distinct backend connection, ensuring one-to-one communication between the frontend and the backend.
