However, you now have an additional option to enable each Private Network to receive advertisements of **all** default routes throughout the entire VPC. This includes routes towards all Public Gateways advertising a default route, as well as any custom-created default routes. This allows resources on other Private Networks to find access to the public internet, even if they do not have their own attached gateway.

See the [documentation](/vpc/how-to/manage-routing/#how-to-manage-default-route-scope) on how to manage default route scope for a given Private Network, once you have [updated](/vpc/how-to/manage-routing/#how-to-update-routing-behavior) to new routing behavior.

The option to receive all default route advertisements must be enabled on a per-Private-Network basis.

When a resource on a Private Network receives multiple default route advertisements, the default route that is ultimately used will depend on the resource's OS and configuration. For a resource running Ubuntu, it is likely that the first default route advertisement received will be prioritized.
