ArcGIS services hosted by Esri support standard endpoints and/or enhanced endpoints. The difference between them is the service URL, functionality available, security certification level, and geographic region it is hosted in.
Standard endpoints
Standard endpoints are URLs for services hosted in a global cloud infrastructure, including the United States. The services are high-performance and optimized to use cloud resources closest to your geographic region.
The ArcGIS Routing service does not provide a standard endpoint. Use the enhanced endpoint.
Enhanced endpoints
Enhanced endpoints are URLs for services hosted in a cloud infrastructure in the United States. The services are also high performance, but provide additional functionality, and offer different regulatory compliance than standard endpoints.
Some enhanced endpoints also support long transactions operations known as job requests. This provides the ability to easily execute and manage the processing of large amounts of data or computationally intensive operations.
The enhanced endpoints for the ArcGIS Routing serivce are:

Enhanced endpoints support different levels of regulatory compliance such as Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA), Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP), and Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act HIPAA.
