If you would like to present this in Atlanta, it would be nice to have a homenet targeted document for people to review. > > In a MANET and in general, uplink interfaces (wired, cellular, satcom) are > distinguished easily from MANET interfaces.

In this way, BRDP sounds more like what is being done in draft-arkko-homenet-prefix-assignment. > This could be used for perimeter discovery also.

Right, I don't see anything inconsistent here vs. what draft-kline has been talking about....
