I suggested this idea to my metro-Ethernet QinQ based provider, and they
replied back pointing out that although the circuit appears point to point
from my customer view, it is actually a VLAN that has numerous redundant
paths within their network. With mac learning turned off, my traffic would
have flooded out across all possible redundant paths. It would have worked,
but it is terribly inefficient for them.
