5454
Azure Route Server supports only Border Gateway (BGP) Protocol. Your network virtual appliance (NVA) must support multi-hop external BGP because you need to deploy the Route Server in a dedicated subnet in your virtual network. When you configure the BGP on your NVA, the ASN you choose must be different from the Route Server ASN.

### How is the 1000 route limit calculated on a BGP peering session between an NVA and Azure Route Server?
7781

78-
Today, Route Server can accept a maximum of 1000 routes from a single BGP peer. When processing BGP route updates, this limit is calculated as the number of current routes learnt from a BGP peer plus the number of routes coming in the BGP route update. For example, if an NVA initially advertises 501 routes to Route Server and later re-advertises these 501 routes in a BGP route update, Route Server will calculate this as 1002 routes and tear down the BGP session.
