Also, currently most routers consists of mostly L2 high speed forwarding,

internal port to the 5 port switch chip with 4 external ports). With
homenet, all this changes. Now all ports need to be L3.
I'm possibly missing something, but I see no requirement to perform L3
routing between the LAN ports.
Really? Then you and me have fundamental difference in opinion what
topologies we want to see in homenet. I want to see fewer broadcast
domains. If we're going to keep the large L2 domains, then we don't really
need homenet at all. The only reason to have homenet is if you're going to
have a substantial amount of routers in arbitrary topology, that actually
route. If we want to L2 switch most traffic, then we have made homenet
unncessarily complex.
