In this scenario, VM1 is migrated to the cloud using the NE, which provides optimal VM to VM latency. As a result, VM1 needs low latency to VM3 on the local Azure VMware Solution segment. We migrate the VM1 gateway from on-premises to Azure VMware Solution (cloud) to ensure an optimal path for traffic (blue line). If the gateway remains on-premises (red line), a tromboning effect and higher latency are observed.

By default and without using MON, a VM in Azure VMware Solution on a stretched network without MON can communicate back to on-premises using the ExpressRoute preferred path. Ideally, a VM on an Azure VMware Solution stretched segment enabled with MON should be traversing traffic back to on-premises over the NE and not out over the T0 gateway via the ExpressRoute.

By default and without using MON, a VM in Azure VMware Solution on a stretched network without MON can communicate back to on-premises using the ExpressRoute preferred path. Ideally, and based on customers use case one should evaluate how a VM on an Azure VMware Solution stretched segment enabled with MON should be traversing back to on-premises either over the NE or the T0 gateway via the ExpressRoute, but keeping traffic flows symmetric.

Therefore, the MON policy-based routes have to specifically address the subnet on the on-premises side; otherwise, the 0.0/0 route is used. Policy-based routes can be found under the NE segment, selecting advanced. By default, all RFC1918 routes are included in the MON policy-based routes defined.
