Each gateway has two instances, the split happens so that each gateway instance can independently allocate client IPs for connected clients and traffic from the virtual network is routed back to the correct gateway instance to avoid inter-gateway instance hop.

### For User VPN (Point-to-site)- how many clients are supported?
25+
26+
Each User VPN P2S gateway has two instances and each instance supports upto certain users as the scale unit changes. Scale unit 1-3 supports 500 connections, Scale unit 4-6 supports 1000 connections, Scale unit 7-10 supports 5000 connections and Scale unit 11+ supports upto 10,000 connections. As an example, lets say the user chooses 1 scale unit. Each scale unit would imply an active-active gateway deployed and each of the instances (in this case 2) would support upto 500 connections. Since you can get 500 connections * 2 per gateway, it does not mean you plan for 1000 instead of the 500 for this scale unit as instances may need to be serviced during which connectivity for the extra 500 may be interrupted if you surpass the recommended connection count.

### What is the difference between an Azure virtual network gateway (VPN Gateway) and an Azure Virtual WAN VPN gateway?
2529

Virtual WAN provides large-scale site-to-site connectivity and is built for throughput, scalability, and ease of use. When you connect a site to a Virtual WAN VPN gateway, it is different from a regular virtual network gateway that uses a gateway type 'VPN'. Similarly, when you connect an ExpressRoute circuit to a Virtual WAN hub, it uses a different resource for the ExpressRoute gateway than the regular virtual network gateway that uses gateway type 'ExpressRoute'. Virtual WAN supports up to 20 Gbps aggregate throughput both for VPN and ExpressRoute. Virtual WAN also has automation for connectivity with an ecosystem of CPE branch device partners. CPE branch devices have built-in automation that auto-provisions and connects into Azure Virtual WAN. These devices are available from a growing ecosystem of SD-WAN and VPN partners. See the [Preferred Partner List](../articles/virtual-wan/virtual-wan-locations-partners.md).
