Use Azure Network Watcher and VPN Gateway Metrics to check for resource constraints or tunnel failures:
Navigate to: Azure Portal > VPN Gateway > Metrics
Correlate the timing of the BGP drop with spikes in traffic or errors.
- Ensure BGP keepalive and hold timers are consistent between Azure and GCP. Azure uses:
Keepalive: 60 seconds
,Hold Time: 180 seconds
A mismatch or overly aggressive configuration on the GCP side may cause session timeout during congestion.
- Confirm the SKU of your Azure VPN Gateway (e.g., VpnGw1, VpnGw2, etc.) supports your bandwidth needs.
VpnGw1
supports up to ~650 Mbps. If you're migrating large volumes quickly, you may exceed this limit, causing performance degradation.
- Consider upgrading to a higher SKU (e.g.,
VpnGw3
orVpnGw5
) to increase performance headroom.
