Home routers with a natural WAN interface such as DSL or Docsis are built from reference designs that "hardwire" the "internet" interface, including any firewall-like functionality

And, I think, it might be the only way to make a homenet work. The primary key beyond this is a device being able to figure out "I'm an edge to the outside world." Yeah, I don't think either device decides that it is the homenet; rather, they are regularly dynamically discovering topology, and deciding what to do based on whether they are connected to an edge. Possibly both devices are connected to an edge, and cooperate to do multihoming.
