Sure; we have avoided it because I think most see the only professional nearby being the ISP, and few of *us* professionals want them mucking around in our home. That's the personal experience of IETF contributors as individuals. However, we also see in our architecture that we expect two be able to get service from two ISPs, so in the end, our pessimism about the ability of the ISP professional to manage our home network is legitimate. There can't be only one --- cooperation is required. There are other professional organizations that would like to help manage our homes: Apple, Google and Microsoft come to mind. Yet, even there, we expect cooperation. That's why the secure bootstrap problem is more difficult in the home than it is, in for instance, an oil refinery. > It should be up to the user to decide to have their home network > professionally managed of course, but as long as that choice is made, a > "professionally managed network" WG might be able to provide tooling > equally as well for the home as for an enterprise (or SOHO, etc, to > Leddy's point).

What do you mean "with blinders on" here? Usually that means that the horse has blinders to avoid distraction by things that aren't in front of them. So I think that you mean that professional managed ideas should be visible to Homenet and ANIMA, but do you really mean: ANIMA should pay attention to non-managed networks HOMENET should pay attention to managed networks -- Michael Richardson <mcr+i...@sandelman.ca>, Sandelman Software Works -= IPv6 IoT consulting =-
