prplMesh solves the wifi broadcast domain issue.
   https://prplfoundation.org/working-groups/prplmesh/

I don't think we can fight this.  I'm upset that this is a gated
organization, and I hate it more than you.  Perhaps we can ask for a formal
liason, perhaps via Broadband Forum.

My question is how can we use HNCP to help manage this.
I don't know, as I haven't read their specification, but I'd like to figure
it out.   I think it's further layer-2 hacks inspired from 30 years of living
in IPv4.

A reason we need to delve into prplMesh is that it permits us to hairpin
traffic between two wifi devices to go through the (security) gateway so that
they can't attack each other.

I, like Juliusz, think we can do this better in layer-3 with much less complex
machinery, but I'm not sure that Homenet should solve this problem itself.
