Makes me thing, if your servers participate in the DC L3 domain (IGP) as
VTEPs or vPEs then things can escalate quickly.
What is a FIB limit on a typical DC leaf switch? I guess 128k? 
Sure 128k and far beyond is not a problem for an MX960 or ASR9k,  -but just
wondering how would a typical DC leaf switch cope with ~128k prefixes in
OSPF.
