There’s quite a number of ASA edge deployments around the world, and most of them are full BGP feeds. It’s being done, but maybe not yet “at large”, as typically people tend to let boxes like ASR 1k or 7200 do the edge BGP stuff.

Re: [c-nsp] ASA and BGP
Just got confirmation that it is ~22,000 routes. 4 gig of ram on a 5515x. should be fine. However, I'm worried that no one is doing this, anywhere. -Original Message- From: Łukasz Bromirski [mailto:luk...@bromirski.net] Sent: 30 July 2015 20:28 To: Nick Cutting Cc: cisco-nsp@puck.nether.net Subject: Re: [c-nsp] ASA and BGP > On 30 Jul 2015, at 15:20, Nick Cutting wrote: > > I've tried running BGP on the ASA, just few routes, seems to work fine. > > But now I may need to take in a whole lot more, in a location that only has a > pair of ASAs in Asia. > > I cannot find any documentation about routing limits on the ASA, except for > IGP, which states as many as the config(flash) and memory supports. > > Now that BGP is supported on the ASA, has anyone been crazy enough to take in > a full table, or a few thousand routes? Sure, 580k+.

[c-nsp] ASA and BGP
I've tried running BGP on the ASA, just few routes, seems to work fine. But now I may need to take in a whole lot more, in a location that only has a pair of ASAs in Asia. I cannot find any documentation about routing limits on the ASA, except for IGP, which states as many as the config(flash) and memory supports. Now that BGP is supported on the ASA, has anyone been crazy enough to take in a full table, or a few thousand routes?
