A hub-and-spoke is a network topology in which you have a virtual network selected as the hub virtual network. This virtual network gets bi-directionally peered with every spoke virtual network in the configuration. This topology is useful for when you want to isolate a virtual network but still want it to have connectivity to common resources in the hub virtual network.

In this configuration, you have settings you can enable such as *direct connectivity* between spoke virtual networks. By default, this connectivity is only for virtual networks in the same region. To allow connectivity across different Azure regions, you'll need to enable *Global mesh*. You can also enable *Gateway* transit to allow spoke virtual networks to use the VPN or ExpressRoute gateway deployed in the hub.

### Direct connectivity

Enabling *Direct connectivity* creates a [*connected group*](#connectedgroup) that contains spoke virtual networks with the same region. This connection is only established for virtual networks in the same network group.

For example, you create two network groups. You enable direct connectivity for the *Production* network group but not for the *Test* network group. This set up only allows virtual networks in the *Production* network group to communicate with one another but not the ones in the *Test* network group.

When you look at effective routes on a VM, the route between the hub and the spoke virtual networks will have the next hop type of *VNetPeering* or *GlobalVNetPeering*. Routes between spokes virtual networks will show up with the next hop type of *ConnectedGroup*. Using the example above, only the *Production* network group would have a *ConnectedGroup* because it has *Direct connectivity* enabled.
