MicrosoftRDP Shortpath for public networks in Azure Virtual Desktop
MicrosoftRinku_Dalwani could you please expand on this feature or provide a link to documentation that further expands upon this? It appears that I have both public and managed enabled in our environment but when I look at the WVDCheckpoints logs, the connection always seems to use the public shortpath over the managed one.
ShortpathRequested {"ShortpathPublicEnabled":"True","ShortpathPrivateEnabled":"True","udpPort":"3,390"}
ShortpathEstablished
{"udpType":"ShortpathPublic"}
This happens despite being connected over VPN and with the appropriate ports being opened. Is there a way to specify precedence when both options are available and if not, how is it decided which one to use?
Also, this is currently being tested in our validation host pool. How will we know when it is available in our production host pools?
- Rinku_DalwaniHi Roger1175 - Until the feature gets completely rolled out, you can have either public or managed shortpath at a time. However, once the feature rolls outs in R1 completely both can co-exist. And that point "found-first" logic will be triggered. This means that whichever connections gets established first will be considered.
We will announce when the feature deployment is complete in production host pool.Rinku_Dalwani I now see this working as you described. Thank you!!
Rinku_Dalwani Do you have any insight on when Azure based NAT Gateways will support short path?
- Rinku_DalwaniKomp_90 - We are working on it and will announce sometime in future.
