So, the $100 IPv6 linksys home router is going to come with a
layer3, vlan capable switch. (I assume that one would not want
to have a physical switch for each subnet, therefore vlans are
the answer). Possibly stateful packet inspection between the
home subnets. I guess there is nothing wrong with running 802.1Q
over 802.11 either. It looks that we need to pack a Cat5505 with
RSM into a smaller box.

One question: Who is going to configure the vlans and the
access-lists between them? Joe customer?

Michel.
