* **Site-to-site (S2S)**: VPN connection over IPsec (IKEv1 and IKEv2). This type of connection requires a VPN device or Windows Server Routing and Remote Access. For more information, see [Create a site-to-site VPN connection in the Azure portal](./tutorial-site-to-site-portal.md).

### Does the virtual network gateway support BFD for S2S connections with BGP?
128128

129129
No. Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) is a protocol that you can use with BGP to detect neighbor downtime more quickly than you can by using standard BGP *keepalive* intervals. BFD uses subsecond timers designed to work in LAN environments, but not across the public internet or WAN connections.

### What happens when I configure both SSTP and IKEv2 for P2S VPN connections?
110110

111111
When you configure both SSTP and IKEv2 in a mixed environment that consists of Windows and Mac devices, the Windows VPN client always tries the IKEv2 tunnel first. The client falls back to SSTP if the IKEv2 connection isn't successful. MacOS connects only via IKEv2.
112112

113113
When you have both SSTP and IKEv2 enabled on the gateway, the point-to-site address pool is statically split between the two, so clients that use different protocols are IP addresses from either subrange. The maximum number of SSTP clients is always 128, even if the address range is larger than /24. The result is a larger number of addresses available for IKEv2 clients. For smaller ranges, the pool is equally halved. Traffic selectors that the gateway uses might not include the point-to-site address range CIDR but include the two subrange CIDRs.
