 Azure Cosmos DB SDKs provide detailed information in their logs and diagnostics that can help identify which retries are taking place. For more information, see [how to collect .NET SDK diagnostics](troubleshoot-dotnet-sdk-slow-request.md#capture-diagnostics) and [how to collect Java SDK diagnostics](troubleshoot-java-sdk-v4.md#capture-the-diagnostics).
 
+## How can I mitigate retry latency?
+
+Depending on the [circumstances](troubleshoot-sdk-availability.md), in most cases the SDK will route requests to either the local region, the write region (in a single-region write scenario) or the first region in the [preferred regions](tutorial-global-distribution.md#preferred-locations) list. This prioritization minimizes latency in healthy scenarios by primarily connecting to the nearest or most optimal data center.
+
+However, this prioritization also means that requests which are going to result in failure will always be tried in one specific region first for a given error scenario. If failover to another region is preferred in that scenario, this is typically handled at the infrastructure (traffic manager) layer rather than at the SDK level. Proper setup and configuration of your infrastructure can ensure that traffic is rerouted efficiently during regional outages, thereby mitigating the latency that can come with cross-region retries in an outage scenario. For more detailed information on setting up infrastructure-level failover, you can refer to [Azure Traffic Manager documentation](../../traffic-manager/index.yml). Some SDKs support implementing similar failover strategies directly at the SDK level. For example, see [high availability for Java SDK](performance-tips-java-sdk-v4.md#high-availability).

 ## What about regional outages?
 
 The Azure Cosmos DB SDKs cover regional availability and can perform retries on another account regions. Refer to the [multiregional environments retry scenarios and configurations](troubleshoot-sdk-availability.md) article to understand which scenarios involve other regions.
