Each extra IP address provided by a frontend provides another 64,000 ephemeral ports for load balancer to use as SNAT ports. Load balancer will use IPs as needed based on the available ports. The Load balancer will use the next IP once the connections can no longer be made with the current IP in use.

Use multiple IP addresses to plan for large-scale scenarios. Use outbound rules to mitigate [SNAT exhaustion](troubleshoot-outbound-connection.md#configure-load-balancer-outbound-rules-to-maximize-snat-ports-per-vm).

You can also use a [public IP prefix](./load-balancer-outbound-connections.md#outboundrules) directly with an outbound rule.

A public IP prefix increases scaling of your deployment. The prefix can be added to the allowlist of flows originating from your Azure resources. You can configure a frontend IP configuration within the load balancer to reference a public IP address prefix.

The load balancer has control over the public IP prefix. The outbound rule will automatically use all public IP addresses contained within the public IP prefix for outbound connections.

The load balancer has control over the public IP prefix. The outbound rule will automatically use other public IP addresses contained within the public IP prefix after no more outbound connections can be made with the current IP in use from the prefix.

Each of the IP addresses within public IP prefix provides an extra 64,000 ephemeral ports per IP address for load balancer to use as SNAT ports.
