## Network requirements

* **Redundant connectivity**: there is no redundancy requirement on physical connectivity between you and your provider. Microsoft does require redundant BGP sessions to be set up between Microsoft’s routers and the peering routers, even when you have just [one physical connection to a cloud exchange](expressroute-faqs.md#onep2plink).

* **Routing**: depending on how you connect to the Microsoft Cloud, you or your provider need to set up and manage the BGP sessions for [routing domains](expressroute-circuit-peerings.md). Some Ethernet connectivity provider or cloud exchange provider may offer BGP management as a value-add service.
