The client is running a stub implementation of the routing protocol.  It's
performing the normal routing protocol activities, such as sending
periodic hellos and announcing routes or flooding LSPs.

At any given time, the client has a default route through some
neighbouring Homenet router.  It sends its outgoing traffic through that
router, which presumably knows how to deal with it.

At any given time, the client is announcing a /128 route to itself to all
neighbouring Homenet routers.  This route gets propagated through the
Homenet by the routing protocol, so that all Homenet routers know how to
route to the client.  This assumes that the Homenet is not doing uRPF
internally.

This approach has been extensively tested with Babel, with no link-layer
support, and the outage after roaming has been measured as 2 to 4 Hello
intervals, which is the time needed by the link quality estimator to yield
meaningful data.  (Which, just between the two of us, is pretty annoying,
even if you're using Mosh.)
