-This article helps you understand the **Accelerated Connections** feature. When Accelerated Connections is enabled on the virtual network interface (vNIC) with Accelerated Networking, this feature significantly improves networking efficiency, resulting in enhanced overall performance. This high-performance feature offers industry leading performance in Connections Per Second (CPS) optimization, along with improvements to handling large amounts of simultaneous connections. The feature also improves the number of Total Active Connections for network intensive workloads. Accelerated Connections is configured at the network interface level to allow flexibility to size the performance at vNIC. This especially benefits smaller VM sizes. These benefits are available for  Network Virtual Appliances (NVAs) with a large number of connections. To access this feature during limited General Availability (limited GA), use the [sign-up form](https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2223706).

 There are a total of four performance tiers at vNIC level which gives the flexibility to control the networking capability. All tiers have different networking capabilities. Instructions on how to select performance tier based on VM sizes will be provided after a customer sign up for the feature.
 
-Accelerated Connections is implemented at the network interface level to allow maximum flexibility of network capacity. Multiple vNICs can be configured with this enhancement, the number depends on the supported VM family. Network Virtual Appliances (NVAs) on Azure Marketplace will be the first workloads to be offered this ground-breaking feature.
