An architect is designing a large-scale, multi-tenant data center using a spine-and-leaf IP fabric. The design must be highly scalable and avoid complex IGP configurations or route reflectors within the fabric. The primary goal is simple, robust routing between leaf switches. Given the requirements for scalability and operational simplicity, which routing protocol design is optimal for the IP fabric underlay? ```mermaid graph TD subgraph "eBGP Underlay Design" Spine1(Spine - ASN 65000) Spine2(Spine - ASN 65000) Leaf1(Leaf - ASN 65001) Leaf2(Leaf - ASN 65002) Leaf3(Leaf - ASN 65003) Leaf1 -- eBGP --> Spine1 Leaf1 -- eBGP --> Spine2 Leaf2 -- eBGP --> Spine1 Leaf2 -- eBGP --> Spine2 Leaf3 -- eBGP --> Spine1 Leaf3 -- eBGP --> Spine2 end ```
