Accelerated Site-to-Site VPN

Accelerated Site-to-Stie VPN

Accelerated VPN provides performance enhancements by routing traffic over a more direct and efficient path between CGW and AWS, avoiding the public internet as much as possible.

• Runing Direct Connect could be expensive for businesses

• Accleration can be enabled when creating a TGW VPN attachment. Not compatible with VPNs using a VGW

  • fixed accelarator cost + a transfer fee

• AWS Network has been extended closer to your premises so the benefits appear earlier

  • the traffic will only be in public internet when connecting between CGW and edge locations.
