Imagine you have two offices in the US, one in Los Angeles and one in New York, connected via a WAN. You have two ExpressRoute circuits, one in US West and one in US East, both connected on the WAN. You intend for Los Angeles users to connect to Azure US West and New York users to Azure US East. However, without knowing which prefix is from which region, your WAN may route both offices' traffic to the US East circuit, causing suboptimal routing for Los Angeles users.

### Solution: use BGP Communities

To optimize routing, use [BGP Community values](expressroute-routing.md) to identify prefixes from each Azure region. For example, `12076:51004` for US East and `12076:51006` for US West. Configure higher local preference values for the appropriate prefixes in each region to ensure traffic takes the optimal path.

In this scenario, Microsoft connections take a longer path to reach your network. For example, Exchange Online connections to on-premises servers may route through the wrong ExpressRoute circuit. Without hints, Microsoft can't determine which on-premises prefix is closer to which circuit.

Advertise your on-premises prefixes on the appropriate ExpressRoute circuits or use AS PATH prepending to influence routing. Lengthen the AS PATH for prefixes in the less preferred region to ensure Microsoft prefers the optimal path.

With ExpressRoute, you can enable VNet-to-VNet communication by linking them to an ExpressRoute circuit. Suboptimal routing can occur when VNets are linked to multiple circuits. For example, VNets in US West and US East may route traffic through the remote circuit due to ECMP routing.

Assign a higher weight to the local connection to ensure VNets prefer the optimal path. This configuration ensures traffic takes the shortest path between VNets.
