 STP loopguard with UDLD already applied? If for one reason or another
STP doesn't work like it should work and goes unidirectional (no infrerior
BPDU received while it should receive them to keep inferior link blocked),
while link is working perfectly bidirectionally (so not catched by UDLD)
you could end up having L2 loops and of course broadcast storms.
