I think the problems come in more on the mixing vendors and more
importantly mixing administrative domains with spanning tree. There
are more than a couple of vendors with random spanning-tree quirks.

Frankly, I'm surprised at the outpouring of love for spanning-tree on
the list. I've on more than one occasion selected a vendor with a ring
or a virtual chassis technology to avoid spanning-tree in the core. I
was also thrilled at the prospect of something like TRILL.

Can someone take it on to make a design recommendation?
