I don't think that ECMP is useful/interesting *within* the Homenet. It is certainly true that having two DSL links "bonded" is regularly done (usually using MPPP), but that presents as a single link. Some will want two CPE routers for reasons of redundancy on their multi-path uplink. My opinion is that we are rapidly getting to "professional managed" networks here, even if the professional the ISP or the very sophisticated home-based IT worker.
Being able to identify backup links and rapidly swing traffic is important, but I think that all the protocols can do that. I think that MPTCP is more likely to bring significant benefit to applications that need to leverage multiple ISPs. -- Michael Richardson <mcr+i...@sandelman.ca>, Sandelman Software Works -= IPv6 IoT consulting =-
