Agreed.

Another idea is this: Do we also need any features like mobile ad hoc 
networking (e.g. OLSR) in homenet?

RFC 1453 specified a default OSPF configuration that my (ACC) Router came up 
with by default. The only configuration necessary was to supply IPv4 
prefixes/addresses to the interfaces and to turn OSPF on. In the context of a 
home, I suspect it would be pretty close. Fundamentals: default values for most 
attributes are as specified in the OSPF RFC, the metric is the duration of a 
bit in 10 ns units (which in LAN networks becomes a hop count), and all 
interfaces are in area zero. Change things to your heart's content, but the 
default configuration is one that actually works for most purposes in a small 
network. I'll entertain arguments that this doesn't address every possible 
configuration, but for the networks we're discussing, I'll argue that its 
"close enough".
