I think having some wording on it pertaining to the homes internal upstream 
might work.  I massaged the paragraph a little and included that clarification. 
 So what do you think of this:


Routing in such an environment calls for a routing protocol. Each CPE must run 
either RIPv6 [RFC2080], IS-IS [RFC5308], or OSPF [RFC5340] on a default route 
and to the homes interal upstream a static default route. The issues raised in 
[RFC3704] also apply, meaning that the two CPE routers may each need to observe 
the source addresses in datagrams  they handle to divert them to the other CPE 
to handle upstream

Maybe you can help me reword it. What I am getting at is this:

a) within the home, in the example in figure 3, I have four routers and nine IP 
subnets. For each router to know where in the home to send data, the usual 
thing is for the routers in the home to do is communicate with the others using 
a routing protocol.

b) there are two CPE routers, each of which has an upstream router in its ISP. 
Since they are not exchanging a routing protocol with their upstream, they will 
need a static route in their own tables and to advertise a default upstream 
route within the home.

c) RFC 3704 observes on the ingress filtering performed in the upstream 
routers, and suggests that the two CPE routers should have some way to ensure 
that they only send traffic that will pass the filter to their upstream. Hence, 
each CPE Router might have a filter installed that looks at the source address 
of a datagram and when necessary forwards it to the other CPE. Or if we had 
source/ destination routing, could advertise the relevant prefix with its 
default route, so that the three routers (not CPE routers, just plain old 
routers, but probably with a firewall filter configured due to the observation 
about corporate information security policies applying to telecommuting home 
offices) would be able to send traffic to the right CPE.

How would you suggest I word this? In my mind, taking what is written there and 
confusing it with the relationship with the upstream ISP requires a strange 
reading of the text, which is all about routing within the home.
