The way for multiple routers in the house is to recognize that the IoT gateway *is* the second router. It's not a second uplink.
So there are in fact three situations:
1) multiple uplinks. (rare at this point, we all agree, partly I think
because it's hard to do)
2) multiple routers. (rather common, often by mistake)
3) IoT routers (usually on purpose)
Let's recharter to address (2) and (3).
As for Ted's comments about backbone router in 6lo... that's rather esoteric
Industrial IoT stuff. It's not, I think, quite right for the home. At least,
not yet.
{ps: I have the thread that the chairs started partly unread, because I
had contributed to the questions, and I wanted to let others chime before I
argued with them}
