But now I don't see what's to stop a home user from buying a more general-purpose router which happens to have a ZigBee port or something, and plugging it in such a way that it *should* behave as a stub router. How does it discover that and configure itself accordingly?
It's my understanding that the stubbyness is a property of the hardware capability, not topology or interfaces. There is nothing that stops a capable router to have a Zigbee port and announce that port to the homenet.
The reason for "stub router" is that it's more lightweight than a full router, it's not that a Zigbee router must be a stub router.
