Yeah, sure, if your design goal is to make your L3 backbone harder to troubleshoot and more failure prone in chains of non-redundant devices. I suppose I could put a 48 port 1000BaseT switch in front of each router and put the microwave PTP linked OSPF /30 BB interfaces each on their own vlan, with one 10GbE from router to switch, but I'd be silly to do so.

There -could- be a router doing L3 behind the switch. It's not that uncommon, right? On Mon, Jun 13, 2016 at 9:17 PM, Eric Kuhnke <eric.kuh...@gmail.com> wrote: > Switch?
