I see the distinction somewhere in the "what defines policy in a network",
as in:
- in a "big" company network, there usually is some sort of network access
policy, which is defined and enforced by the network people - so you'll
see BGP policies and PI, or in a "dual /48" style shop, I expect to see
dual-NPT66-with-ULA devices where you can configure your policy ("surfing
goes out via ISP A, mail goes out via ISP B") in the network device
- in a homenet, small company ("barber shop") network, there is no "admin",
and to try to enforce network policy ("surfing via cable, bittorrent via
DSL") in the network device is futile, because "no admin". So here you
need SADR to empower the end device - and by that means, the user - to
define policy. Have the bittorrent client use the source address from
the DSL ISP's /48, the web browser use the source address from the
Cable ISP, and things work the way the user wants it.
... and this is why I really really like dual-/48 multihoming for the
"not really managed" SOHO case, as it puts policy decisions where they
can be made (= user's device) - and of course, why dual-/48 is not going
to fly for enterprise networks (= can't have the user decide that).
(In case this wasn't obvious, I'm agreeing with Ole here, I just try to
shed light from a slightly different angle on that.)
