iBGP happens at L3, how is that going to stop a L2 loop exactly? There are plenty of alternatives to using spanning tree in a L2 network these days, you just have to have the right equipment to support it. There's TRILL, cisco's FabricPath (L2MP for everyone else). |

Yes, I'd very much like to see TRILL gaining more widespread usage and attention, but fundamentally it's equivalent to IP-IP encapsulation plus IS-IS for link-state and iBGP for the outer IP layer, just with fancy terminology (RBridges and so on) and standardized administration/operational semantics. (Which is a good thing of course.)
