 Gateways use [Border Gateway Protocol](/windows-server/remote/remote-access/bgp/border-gateway-protocol-bgp) to advertise GRE endpoints and establish point-to-point connections. SDN deployment creates a default gateway pool that supports all connection types. Within this pool, you can specify how many gateways are reserved on standby in case an active gateway fails.

 The Hyper-V Network Virtualization (HNV) Provider Address (PA) network serves as the underlying physical network for East/West (internal-internal) tenant traffic, North/South (external-internal) tenant traffic, and to exchange BGP peering information with the physical network. This network is only required when there's a need for deploying virtual networks using VXLAN encapsulation for another layer of isolation and for network multitenancy.

 Using SLB, you can scale out your load balancing capabilities using SLB VMs on the same Hyper-V compute servers that you use for your other VM workloads. SLB supports rapid creation and deletion of load balancing endpoints as required for CSP operations. In addition, SLB supports tens of gigabytes per cluster, provides a simple provisioning model, and is easy to scale out and in.
