# About ExpressRoute virtual network gateway and FastPath
15-
To connect your Azure virtual network and your on-premises network via ExpressRoute, you must create a virtual network gateway first. A virtual network gateway serves two purposes: exchange IP routes between the networks and route network traffic. This article explains gateway types, gateway SKUs and estimated performance by SKU. This article also explains ExpressRoute FastPath, a feature that enables the network traffic from your on-premises network to bypass the virtual network gateway to improve performance.

The new gateway SKUs also support other deployment options to best match your needs. When creating a virtual network gateway using the new gateway SKUs, you also have the option to deploy the gateway in a specific zone. This is referred to as a zonal gateway. When you deploy a zonal gateway, all the instances of the gateway are deployed in the same Availability Zone.

ExpressRoute virtual network gateway is designed to exchange network routes and route network traffic. FastPath is designed to improve the data path performance between your on-premises network and your virtual network. When enabled, FastPath sends network traffic directly to virtual machines in the virtual network, bypassing the gateway.

FastPath is available on [ExpressRoute Direct](expressroute-erdirect-about.md) only. In other words, you can enable this feature only if you [connect your virtual network gateway](expressroute-howto-linkvnet-arm.md) to an ExpressRoute circuit created on an ExpressRoute Direct port. In addition, your virtual network gateway must be either Ultra Performance or ErGw3AZ.
