but where do you want to stop? 128 vlans means 128 customers with a single vlan each. What happens when you want 2000 customers or 4094 customers? If you have a switch accepting hellos every 2 seconds per vlan and then running the spanning tree calculation for each of these every time a designated link flaps, you'll trash any cpu. The protocol itself doesn't scale - it's great for small networks but it cannot scale beyond relatively small installations.
