Neither of these are true, though in the future we _might_ have deployable technology that allows for automated routing setup (though I very seriously doubt it) in the home. Layer 2 isolation is both easier and more reliable than attempting it at layer 3 which is isolation by agreement, i.e. it doesn't really exist. On 8/10/2011 9:02 AM, Owen DeLong wrote:
Bridging eliminates the multicast isolation that you get from routing.
This is not a case for bridging, it's a case for making it possible to do real routing in the home and we now have the space and the technology to actually do it in a meaningful and sufficiently automatic way as to be applicable to Joe 6-Mac.
