Really like to know what the next-hop IP points to for ASN 65515 in Azure express route !!!!

Hello Gongya Yu ,

Thank you for reaching out on the Microsoft Q&A .

In Azure ExpressRoute, the concept of a specific next hop IP for ASN 65515 doesn't quite apply as it would in a traditional network setup. ASN 65515 is used internally by Microsoft's routing infrastructure, and ExpressRoute relies on Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) to dynamically choose the most efficient path for your traffic based on current network conditions. Therefore, the next hop IP address will vary and isn't a fixed entity you can directly connect to. The example IPs you mentioned, 192.168.0.13 and 192.168.0.12, are private IP addresses typically used for internal networking within an organization and aren't relevant to Azure's internal routing. Essentially, Microsoft's internal routing efficiently manages your data packets, so you don't need to be concerned with the specific next hop IP for ASN 65515.

I hope this helps! If you have any further questions, feel free to ask.
