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!
