Yes I know I know.

I do not like ietf manet protocols. Infact a lot of people like them,
perhaps because there is an already working implementation and so they
can use them.

But infact there are better alternatives:

and also

And it is what I use.

For the moment I do not care about privacy. But if someone wants to add
encryption is (gpl) free to do it.

And I use IPv6 for this reason also: real addresses not masquerading.

Yes multihoming but not very hard.

Yes I use an adapted version of GPSR. Adapted to static hosts, please
look at scrouter.sf.net/demo.html
