How can we raise the bar in home networking? How can we make home network configuration simpler and easier? How can we more effectively route packets in a home network? How can we do this in an environment when the IPv4 address pool is declining?
In this great presentation at RIPE67, Mark Townsley talks about the efforts in the "Homenet" working group within the IETF with these goals in mind:
- Networks shall have ample IP address space
- Routers shall know where to send packets
- Names resolve to addresses
- Human touch is not required
