Are There Any Restrictions on Using a Route Table?

When you create a VPC, the system automatically generates a default route table for the VPC. You can also create a custom route table.

A VPC can be associated with a maximum of five route tables, including the default route table and four custom route tables.
All route tables in a VPC can have a maximum of 1,000 routes, excluding system routes.
In a VPC route table, the route priority is as follows:
- Local route: A route that is automatically added by the system for communication within a VPC. It has a higher priority than a custom route.
- Custom route: A route added by a user or routes that are delivered during instance creation. It uses the longest prefix match rule to find a destination for packet forwarding.
