I concur with Tom Pusateri, Markus Stenberg, Ted Lemon, and others:
- A layer-2 solution is not deployable in the full range of HomeNet
environments.
- Many link layers do not use any form of IEEE 802. So RBRIDGE and
TRILL and similar are not deployable over many applicable link layers.
- We need a solution that is agnostic to the type of link layer.
- Further, we have a range of on-the-shelf IETF security mechanisms
that operate at Layer-3 and higher. There is no security magic
to a Layer-2-only approach to HomeNet.
Bottom Line:
Not all links are (wired, wireless) Ethernet or based on IEEE 802.*
Yours,
Ran
