 Network traffic between peered virtual networks is private. The virtual networks appear as one for connectivity purposes. The traffic between virtual machines in peered virtual networks uses the Microsoft backbone infrastructure, and no public Internet, gateways, or encryption is required in the communication between the virtual networks.

 You can override the default routes that Azure creates with [user-defined routes (UDR)](/azure/virtual-network/virtual-networks-udr-overview). This technique can be useful when you want to ensure that traffic between two subnets passes through a firewall appliance. These custom routes override Azure's default system routes. In Azure, each subnet can have zero or one associated route table. When you create a route table and associate it to a subnet, the routes within it are combined with, or override, the default routes Azure adds to a subnet.
