Pierre, Thanks. Seeing other replies, I also hear a requirement (d) have plug-and-play routing, and (e) support MIF. I think plug-and-play is a work in progress until routing is decided. I would break down the problem by using Babel on the wifi links and IS-IS on the wired link - what do folks think? If each of Babel and IS-IS are auto-configurable or close to it, the two combined can be auto-configurable as well. They each have to distribute their static and connected routes to each other and such a distribution can totally be automated.

I just spent one hour at my sister’s home trying to optimize the positioning of a WiFi repeater. Her home is definitely an average-sized one, with average people living in it that do not know anything about IP networking. But they have an ethernet link, a PLC link because the ISP told them to use it, and a dummy wifi repeater which does some black magic to extend the wifi network without requiring more configuration. So I’d say: (c) A home network may have multiple wifi links. Some of which may be used for transit. - Pierre _______________________________________________ homenet mailing list homenet@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/homenet
