ExpressRoute Global Reach is an add-on feature for ExpressRoute. With Global Reach, you can link ExpressRoute circuits together to make a private network between your on-premises networks. Branches that are connected to Azure Virtual WAN using ExpressRoute require the ExpressRoute Global Reach to communicate with each other. Global Reach is not required for transitivity between site-to-site VPN and ExpressRoute connected branches.

There are two options to enable ExpressRoute to ExpressRoute transit connectivity when using Azure Virtual WAN:

In this model, each branch that is connected to the virtual WAN hub using ExpressRoute can connect to VNets using the branch-to-VNet path. Branch-to-branch traffic won't transit the hub because ExpressRoute Global Reach enables a more optimal path over Azure WAN.

* You can enable ExpressRoute to ExpressRoute transit connectivity by enabling ExpressRoute Global Reach on your ExpressRoute circuits. [Global Reach](../expressroute/expressroute-global-reach.md) is an ExpressRoute add-on feature that allows you to link ExpressRoute circuits in different peering locations together to make a private network. ExpressRoute to ExpressRoute transit connectivity between circuits with the Global Reach add-on will not transit the Virtual WAN hub because Global Reach enables a more optimal path over the global backbone.

* You can use the Routing Intent feature with private traffic routing policies to enable ExpressRoute transit connectivity via a security appliance deployed in the Virtual WAN Hub. This option doesn't require Global Reach. For more information, see the [ExpressRoute section](how-to-routing-policies.md#expressroute) in routing intent documentation.
