New routing option in Global Secure Access Private Access: Performance.

Microsoft Entra Global Secure Access has a new routing option for Private Access connector groups: Performance. It is currently in preview.

What Performance routing does#

When a connector group has multiple connectors, the group selects which connector handles each request. Performance routing automatically directs user traffic to the connector with the lowest network latency, measured by round-trip time (RTT).

This option is particularly beneficial when connectors and end users are geographically distributed, because it routes users to the connector that can provide the fastest response.

You can change the traffic routing behavior for each Global Secure Access application.

Scope and preview status#

Performance routing is currently in preview. Connector load balancing applies to Microsoft Entra Private Access applications, not Microsoft Entra application proxy applications. Microsoft’s preview terms apply while the feature is in preview.
