Just like in some other old workplace, cough, ’if it does not work without 
IPsec, do not expect it to work with it’.

That is, if single-router home experiences power outage, outcome is rather 
catastrophic renumbering event (and loss of NAT state).

I do not expect homenet stuff to do much better here, unless we want to make it 
crazily complicated.

Normal, graceful renumberings are a part of IPv6 and should work equally well 
given single 7084 router and homenet router network. IPv4 ‘renumbering’ will be 
bit less graceful no matter what, I am afraid, but that’s outside the 
architecture RFC mandate anyway and done just as a public service.

Cheers,
