It has been a long day so maybe I'm just not thinking clearly.
But, what exactly is a "core" node in this context? Looking over the
SIX page at: https://www.seattleix.net/topology.html I can't see how
the Extension switches that are connected to their Arista switch are any
different than their Extreme & Nexus switches that are in their "core".
Is "core" determined by who owns it? who maintains it? number of
connected hosts? "network-central" location? total bandwidth?
spanning tree priority (!!!)? Is there some layer 3 routing in there
somewhere?
I'm confused! Please enlighten me!
