A company is building a large data center. About 80% of its traffic will be North to South and the other 20% will be east to west. The company is also expecting a significant amount of data center growth over the next 5-10 years but wants to keep the cost of growth low. Which data center design is best suited to meet these goals?
A. A spine and leaf design with layer 2/3 termination on the leaf nodes
B. A two-tier design with the layer 2 termination on data center core
C. A spine and leaf design with layer 2/3 termination on the spine nodes
D. A three-tier design with a layer 3 termination on the data center core

shouldn’t it be ‘D’ since 80% is north to south traffic?
no as they are expecting growth and want to keep the cost of growth low
