|:-----|:-----|:-----|
227
−|Local DNS resolution and Internet egress <br/> |Provision local DNS servers in each location and ensure that Microsoft 365 connections egress to the Internet as close as possible to the user's location. <br/> | Minimize latency <br/> Improve reliable connectivity to the closest Microsoft 365 entry point <br/> |
228
−|Add regional egress points <br/> |If your corporate network has multiple locations but only one egress point, add regional egress points to enable users to connect to the closest Microsoft 365 entry point. <br/> | Minimize latency <br/> Improve reliable connectivity to the closest Microsoft 365 entry point <br/> |
229
−|Bypass proxies and inspection devices <br/> |Configure browsers with PAC files that send Microsoft 365 requests directly to egress points. <br/> Configure edge routers and firewalls to permit Microsoft 365 traffic without inspection. <br/> | Minimize latency <br/> Reduce load on network devices <br/> |
230
−|Enable direct connection for VPN users <br/> |For VPN users, enable Microsoft 365 connections to connect directly from the user's network rather than over the VPN tunnel by implementing split tunneling. <br/> | Minimize latency <br/> Improve reliable connectivity to the closest Microsoft 365 entry point <br/> |
231
−|Migrate from traditional WAN to SD-WAN <br/> |SD-WANs (Software Defined Wide Area Networks) simplify WAN management and improve performance by replacing traditional WAN routers with virtual appliances, similar to the virtualization of compute resources using virtual machines (VMs). <br/> | Improve performance and manageability of WAN traffic <br/> Reduce load on network devices <br/> |
