Hi @bluesea2010 

The pros I see of having border spines are:

  • lower costs - no need for dedicated border leafs
  • if the spines are modular switches (Nexus 9500) you have higher resilience and availability (redundancy provided by LC/SUPs)
  • most of the times, the spines are having high bandwidth and are equipped with high speed ports

Stay safe,

Sergiu
