Nodes multihome already now, it just doesn't work that well.
wired, different radio frequencies...

Two APs in the home easily see three links between them today:
    2.4Ghz, 5Ghz, wired

to that you might also have the latest powerline stuff (which is a wired
version of 802.15.4), 15.4 linkages that may come and go, maybe even BTLE.

In my neighbourhood, someone's "wireless" ("FIBE") TV SSID seems to obliterate
much of the wireless bandwidth; but I guess only when they are watching
something.  My WIIU/Netflix is wired for this very reason.

Routing is such a better thing, and I sure would like to use LISP.
