Hi, all,
Has anyone raised the potential need for fair-sharing in home
gateways?
I.e., to prevent a single home user from swamping out another home
user?
If one can define "user" in a technically useful way, then it may or
may not be feasible. If one can't define "user" then I don't know
where to start.
If user==host, then there may be a way to cover the simple cases - but
even that's a bit tricky without some kind of signaling protocol.
I think I know how to do this with MPLS :-)
Also a challenge with IPv6 is the ease with which host addresses an be
manufactured.
Alternatively, if one posits in-home VLANS (like I have in my house),
then I can pretty easily carve things up. But I suspect we don't want
to got there either :-)
I'm all ears if somebody has a proposal to make.
Note also, that we have so many easy problems to tackle, if this one
turns out to be difficult I'd be loathe to make it in scope.

(we saw this in a gateway Lars, Yu-shun Wang, and I developed, FWIW,
when we used it to support demos at workshops).
