% It occurs to me that the principle difference between those two cases
% is that the home user is very unlikely to have more than one in-house
% link (or at least, isn't using IP routing). Home networks are more  
likely
% to be doing link aggregation at the 802 level... I hope.

I think that multi-homed residential networks will become
increasingly common.  There is a fair bit of interesting
stuff happening in some little villages in Cambridgeshire.
In one place, people with various uplinks (DSL, cable modem,
dialup) are also running wireless Ethernet among themselves.

One of these people was a networking researcher.  So there is
some pretty interesting work in "village area networking"
being undertaken in the UK these days.

Cheers,

Ran
