Well, I've not followed all of the homenet discussions on this PD-story, but I see a lot of referral to OSPF (v3), so it seems to be assumed that all these CPEs must "talk" OSPF ? I think lots of them in the field today are low-end, low memory devices, hence probably 1. no OSPF will be present a

Well, indeed things have been running for a long time, even in the 90's, but (for some reason) in today's world, the CPE should be as low cost as possible, resulting in cheaper chipsets and restricted memory. On top of the 90's content, they also now have to include lots of extra's like samba s
