 * Routing Intent simplifies routing by managing route table associations and propagations for all connections (Virtual Network, Site-to-site VPN, Point-to-site VPN, and ExpressRoute). Virtual WANs with custom route tables and customized policies therefore can't be used with the Routing Intent constructs.
 * Encrypted ExpressRoute (Site-to-site VPN tunnels running over ExpressRoute circuits) is supported in hubs where routing intent is configured if Azure Firewall is configured to allow traffic between VPN tunnel endpoints (Site-to-site VPN Gateway private IP and on-premises VPN device private IP). For more information on the required configurations, see [Encrypted ExpressRoute with routing intent](#encryptedER).
 * The following connectivity use cases are **not** supported with Routing Intent:

 |:-------|:------------|
 | **Routing Infrastructure Units** | The virtual hub's routing infrastructure units (RIU). The virtual hub's RIU determines how much bandwidth the virtual hub router can process for flows traversing the virtual hub router. The hub's RIU also determines how many VMs in spoke VNets the virtual hub router can support. For more information on routing infrastructure units, see [Virtual Hub Capacity](hub-settings.md#capacity).
 | **Spoke VM Utilization** | The approximate number of deployed spoke VMs as a percentage of the total number of spoke VMs that the hub's routing infrastructure units can support. For example, if the hub's RIU is set to 2, which supports 2,000 spoke VMs, and 1,000 VMs are deployed across spoke virtual networks, this metric's value is approximately 50%.  |
+| **Count Of Routes Advertised To Peer** | The Virtual WAN hub router exchanges routes with all active instances of ExpressRoute gateways, VPN  gateways and NVAs deployed in the Virtual WAN hub or in a connected Virtual Network spoke. When the Virtual WAN hub router learns a  prefix with the same AS-PATH length from multiple peers, the router internally selects a peer to prefer for that specific route and re-advertises that route to all **other** peers (including the other gateway or NVA instance). This  internal route selection process occurs for every route processed and the selected instance can change due to various factors such as network changes or maintenance events. As a result the number of routes advertised to an individual peer may fluctuate. When this metric is viewed with the maximum aggregation, Azure Monitor displays the data associated with a **single** BGP session between the Virtual WAN hub router and gateway or NVA. To effectively monitor changes or potential issues in your network, apply a split in Azure Monitor on the Count of Routes Advertised to Peer metric on a per peer IP address and ensure that the total number of routes advertised to your ExpressRoute, VPN or NVA is stable or in-line with any network changes. The total count of routes advertised must be calculated manually as the Azure Monitor **sum**  aggregation type sums up data-points over the aggregation window, which  does not accurately reflect routes advertised count.   |
