Hey Tom,

I realize that people have ossification on the head, but I'm sure you
recognize that the right answer here is that most people only have a
single connection into their homes.  For those who have more than one,
the two either are disconnected networks or they come together in the
same box.  We do not have the routing infrastructure today in place to
multihome to your laptop/iPhone/tablet/Android/FB phone, something I
deeply regret we have not yet worked out. Maybe some day.

But the way this is done is through multiple pesistent transport
connections bound off of separate L3 local addresses.  We have attempted
to do otherwise through MIPv6 and LISP-MN.  Not widely deployed, and
even were they so, it is probably sufficient for something like the LISP
header to be above PLUS (think about that until you're 103)!
