Okay.

In 2014, we hit a similar issue, although not in a ring.

Our previous architecture was to interconnect edge routers via
downstream, interconnected aggregation switches to which customers
connected in order to support VRRP.

Since customers do strange things, both edge routers received the same
traffic, which caused pain.

Since then, we don't support VRRP for customers any longer, nor do we
interconnect aggregation switches that map to different edge routers.

Your example scenario describes what we experienced back then.

Mark.
