[j-nsp] Interconnecting spines in spine & leaf networks [ was Re: Opinions on fusion provider edge ]

It Depends(tm).  I would start with asking why you want to interconnect 
your leafs.  Same question again about scaling out >2 as well as just what 
you're trying to accomplish with those links.  A use case could be 
something like MLAG/VPC/whatever to bring L2 redundancy down to the node 
attachment.  Personally I'm trying to kill the need for that (well, more 
just run L3 straight down to the host and be done with all layers of 
protocols and headers just to stretch L2 everywhere), but one battle at a 
time.
