aggregated across multiple switch chassis". And that's not, in and of
itself, bad component design.However, it pretty apparently limits the ability to make the best use
of your circuits in your system design...
The issue is spanning tree, not component design. Yes, technologies
that configure their topology using a spanning tree limit your ability
to make best use of potentially expensive circuits in your system
design.
