Let's not classify protocols yet. Maybe IS-IS-TRILL is overkill and
OSPFv3-&AF-&MANETextensions-&L2extensions is not. Or otherwise.

The main point is: we have to deal with v4, v6 and VLANs. Dual stack 
guest network may have multiple L2 links, connected via some kind of 
backbone link (e.g. powerline), and hooked up to a firewall somewhere.
