Re: VPC layer 2 extension between data centers

This is technically feasible, but sounds like a truly awful idea to me.
Rather than adding redundancy you are turning both data centers into one
giant failure domain. I just saw a layer 2 loop wipe out an entire data
center, with this solution you could wipe out both.

My $0.02 cents.
