# Configure a network routing preference for Azure Storage (preview)

You can configure a network routing preference (preview) for your Azure storage account to specify how network traffic is routed to your account from clients over the Internet. By default, traffic from the Internet is routed to the public endpoint of your storage account over the [Microsoft global network](../../networking/microsoft-global-network.md). Azure Storage provides additional options for configuring how traffic is routed to your storage account.

Configuring a routing preference gives you the flexibility to optimize your traffic either for premium network performance or for cost. When you configure a routing preference, you specify how traffic will be directed to the public endpoint for your storage account by default. You can also publish route-specific endpoints for your storage account.

By default, clients outside of the Azure environment access your storage account over the Microsoft global network. The Microsoft global network is optimized for low-latency path selection to deliver premium network performance with high reliability. Both inbound and outbound traffic are routed through the point of presence (POP) that is closest to the client. This default routing configuration ensures that traffic to and from your storage account traverses over the Microsoft global network for the bulk of its path, maximizing network performance.

You can choose between the Microsoft global network and Internet routing as the default routing configuration for the public endpoint of your storage account. The default routing configuration applies to all traffic from clients outside Azure and affects the endpoints for Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2, Blob storage, Azure Files, and static websites. Configuring a routing preference is not supported for Azure Queues or Azure Tables.

You can also publish route-specific endpoints for your storage account. When you publish route-specific endpoints, Azure Storage creates new public endpoints for your storage account that route traffic over the desired path. This flexibility enables you to direct traffic to your storage account over a specific route without changing your default routing preference.
