Bgp inside ipsec tunnel

Hi folks  I was wondering if this setup is supported,  Does anyone have experience with running  bgp inside ipsec tunnel (peer on tunnel interface ? Self ip ? ) Thanks .

I have not done it but it shouldn't be an issue as F5 Zebos module is like a mini Cisco and tunnel config has examples for using static routes but just BGP is needed:

Also use non-floating self ip as BGP does not support floating one and the tunnels can use non-floating or floating self ip.

Also don't forget the ebgp multihop option and also you may see the articles for CISCO eBGP inside ipsec.
