It depends, you can put in a table-map to stop the routes from being
installed into the FIB/RIB on an ASR-1K with 2GB of RAM you can then have
up to 2 million IPv4 routes. Alternatively, if you are not using your
ASR-1k to forward traffic, I think you could also just turn off CEF and
have the same result.
