Answer - A.

This is clearly provided in the AWS documentation.

BGP 100

routes per

route table
(propagated
routes)

You can have up to 100 propagated routes per route table. This
limit cannot be increased. If you require more than 100 prefixes,
advertise a default route.

BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) is a routing protocol that enables the exchange of routing information between different Autonomous Systems (AS). AWS offers BGP support for Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) through Virtual Private Gateway (VGW).

In AWS, a Route Table is a virtual routing table that contains a set of rules, called routes, that are used to determine where network traffic is directed. Route tables are associated with subnets, and they control the traffic between subnets within a VPC and between VPCs and the internet.

The maximum number of BGP routes that can be advertised per route table in AWS is 1000. Therefore, none of the answer choices is correct.

However, it is important to note that AWS imposes other limitations on BGP. For example, the maximum number of routes that can be learned from a single BGP peer is 1000, and the maximum number of BGP peers that can be configured per VGW is 10. Additionally, AWS charges for each route advertised to the VGW, so it is important to be mindful of the number of routes advertised to avoid unexpected charges.

In summary, the current limit on the number of BGP advertised routes per route table in AWS is 1000, not any of the answer choices provided in the question.
