 Because calls to Azure Cosmos DB are made over the network, you might need to vary the degree of concurrency of your requests so that the client application spends minimal time waiting between requests. For example, if you're using the .NET [Task Parallel Library](/dotnet/standard/parallel-programming/task-parallel-library-tpl), create on the order of hundreds of tasks that read from or write to Azure Cosmos DB.

-To reduce latency and CPU jitter, we recommend that you enable accelerated networking on your client virtual machines. For more information, see [Create a Windows virtual machine with accelerated networking](../../virtual-network/create-vm-accelerated-networking-powershell.md) or [Create a Linux virtual machine with accelerated networking](../../virtual-network/create-vm-accelerated-networking-cli.md).
+**Enable accelerated networking to reduce latency and CPU jitter**
+
+It is recommended that you follow the instructions to enable [Accelerated Networking](../../virtual-network/accelerated-networking-overview.md) in your [Windows (click for instructions)](../../virtual-network/create-vm-accelerated-networking-powershell.md) or [Linux (click for instructions)](../../virtual-network/create-vm-accelerated-networking-cli.md) Azure VM, in order to maximize performance.
+
+Without accelerated networking, IO that transits between your Azure VM and other Azure resources may be unnecessarily routed through a host and virtual switch situated between the VM and its network card. Having the host and virtual switch inline in the datapath not only increases latency and jitter in the communication channel, it also steals CPU cycles from the VM. With accelerated networking, the VM interfaces directly with the NIC without intermediaries; any network policy details which were being handled by the host and virtual switch are now handled in hardware at the NIC; the host and virtual switch are bypassed. Generally you can expect lower latency and higher throughput, as well as more *consistent* latency and decreased CPU utilization when you enable accelerated networking.
+
+Limitations: accelerated networking must be supported on the VM OS, and can only be enabled when the VM is stopped and deallocated. The VM cannot be deployed with Azure Resource Manager. [App Service](../../app-service/overview.md) has no accelerated network enabled.
+
+Please see the [Windows](../../virtual-network/create-vm-accelerated-networking-powershell.md) and [Linux](../../virtual-network/create-vm-accelerated-networking-cli.md) instructions for more details.
