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.

When ExpressRoute advertises routes to on-premises, it removes the private BGP ASN information. On-premises receives the prefix with [AS 12076](../expressroute/expressroute-routing.md#autonomous-system-numbers-asn)

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

-
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.
