Last I checked, the BDI will only support MST for a spanning tree protocol.
That was a show-stopper for us, weren't prepared for a migration everywhere
to that.  There are also more limitations for BDIs -

What is the different between a BDI on ASRs and an SVI?

Looking around the Internet they seem to be SVIs that you can bridge a
service instance to except they are called Bridge Domain Interface instead
of Switch Virtual Interface (I guess becaus these are routers not
switches?).

Any other difference apart from the name? Are they essentialy SVIs?


Cheers,
James.
