Mikael, you appear to be feature-driven -- to quote somebody I like,
"moar TLVs, better protocol!". Let's please step back, and think about
what the Homenet user actually needs or wants.
I guess we're not even close (again) on agreeing what a homenet is and
what the requirements are.
I live in a country where gigabit ethernet connectivity to households is
not at all uncommon (today). Sometimes it's included in the rent,
sometimes you have to pay 10-20EUR extra to upgrade from 100/100 to
gigabit. Sometimes it costs 50-80EUR per month to get this service (then
people usually settle for 100/100 or something like that that might cost
30-40EUR per month. It all depends on what service provider is available
where you live.
I generally like my home network to be of higher speed than my Internet
access line. I would imagine this is what most people actually want and
need, at least that's what the ISP would prefer to people can actually get
speeds close to what they're buying.
Do you know how many ISPs get complaints when customers cannot get more
than 200-400 megabit/s of transfer speed on their gig connections, because
their home equipment sucks? Lots of them.
So I want the homenet to work all the time, and be fast. ECMP could be one
component in this going forward. Why are you so opposed to his, I thought
ECMP was available in (basically) all routing protocols?
