What, you don't know *every* 3 letter acronym by heart? MIF is the IETF Multiple InterFaces working group: http://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/mif/charter/ It's very likely that many homenets will have two providers (e.g. wireline and wireless) and therefore the issues that MIF is discussing all affect homenet, as far as I can see.
