Oh, so the endpoints are virtual and that's supposed to be three things
wired together rather than a single device with multiple links?  That's
really not very clear from reading the above and seems cumbersome -
every device will want to explicitly identify every other device on the
link and any configuration is going to either need to be replicated on
every device or we'll need to check lots of places for the configuation.
It seems like this will be hard to work with.
