Hi,
According to the below example (RSPs and LCs are Typhoon cards),
System capability:
Max BVI interface supported : 16000
Node 0/0/CPU0 capability:
Max BVI interfaces: 4000
-not much if you ask me, especially when I can have only one BD per VXLAN,
So yes you’re much better of just using an external loop cable so you can provide L3 for BDs on sub-interfaces (as those scale much better).
