-Azure Virtual WAN is a networking service that brings many networking, security and routing functionalities together to provide a single operational interface. These functionalities include Branch connectivity ( via connectivity automation from Virtual WAN Partner devices such as SD-WAN or VPN CPE) , Site-to-site VPN connectivity, Remote User VPN (Point-to-site) connectivity, Private (ExpressRoute) connectivity, Intra cloud connectivity (Transitive connectivity for Virtual Networks), VPN ExpressRoute Interconnectivity, Routing, Azure firewall, Encryption for private connectivity etc. You do not have to have all of these use cases to start using Virtual WAN. You can simply get started with just one use case and adjust your network as it evolves. The Virtual WAN architecture is a hub and spoke architecture with scale and performance built-in for branches (VPN/SD-WAN devices), users (Azure VPN/OpenVPN/IKEv2 Clients), ExpressRoute circuits, and Virtual Networks. It enables [global transit network architecture](virtual-wan-global-transit-network-architecture.md) where the cloud hosted network 'hub' enables transitive connectivity between endpoints that may be distributed across different types of 'spokes'.
