+## Deprecation Notice
+
+This processor has been deprecated in favor of the [`routing` connector][routing_connector].
+
+### Migration
+
+The routing connector supports all features of the routing processor and more. However, the configuration is different. The general idea is the same, but there are a few key differences:
+
+- Rather than routing directly to exporters, the routing connector routes to pipelines. This allow for processors to be included after routing decisions.
+- The connector is configured within the `connectors` section, rather than the `processors` section of the configuration.
+- Usage of the connector in pipelines is different. You must use it as an exporter AND as a receiver in each pipeline to which it can route.
+- Configuration is primarily based on [OTTL][OTTL].
+- Each route can be evaluated in a different [OTTL Context][ottl_contexts].
+
+#### Example
+
+Starting from the example configuration below, we can achieve the same result with the routing connector:
+
+```yaml
+processors:
+  routing:
+    from_attribute: X-Tenant
+    default_exporters: [jaeger]
+    table:
+    - value: acme
+      exporters: [jaeger/acme]
+exporters:
+  jaeger:
+    endpoint: localhost:14250
+  jaeger/acme:
+    endpoint: localhost:24250
+service:
+  pipelines:
+    traces:
+      receivers: [otlp]
+      processors: [routing]
+      exporters: [jaeger, jaeger/acme]
+```
+
+```yaml
+connectors:
+  routing:
+    match_once: true
+    default_pipelines: [traces/jaeger]
+    table:
+    - context: request
+      condition: request["X-Tenant"] == "acme"
+      pipelines: [traces/jaeger/acme]
+exporters:
+  jaeger:
+    endpoint: localhost:14250
+  jaeger/acme:
+    endpoint: localhost:24250
+service:
+  pipelines:
+    traces:
+      receivers: [otlp]
+      exporters: [routing]
+    traces/jaeger:
+      receivers: [routing]
+      exporters: [jaeger]
+    traces/jaeger/acme:
+      receivers: [routing]
+      exporters: [jaeger/acme]
+```
+
+## Overview
+
 Routes logs, metrics or traces to specific exporters.
 
 This processor will either read a header from the incoming HTTP request (gRPC or plain HTTP), or it will read a resource attribute, and direct the trace information to specific exporters based on the value read.
