What is Spine/Leaf?
Spine-Leaf is a data center network topology designed to provide high bandwidth and low latency. It consists of two layers: a spine layer and a leaf layer. Leaf switches connect directly to servers, and spine switches interconnect all leaf switches. This architecture avoids traditional hierarchical topologies, reducing the number of hops between servers and providing more predictable performance.

VXLAN
VXLAN is often used as an overlay technology in Spine/Leaf architectures to provide network segmentation and virtualization.
BGP
BGP is commonly used as the routing protocol between the spines and leaves in a Spine/Leaf network, providing scalability and loop prevention.
OSPF
OSPF can be used as a routing protocol within a Spine/Leaf network, but it is less common than BGP due to scalability limitations in larger deployments.
