| Is it intended that NetworkManager will conform to /support / exploit the Homenet network name and address assignment and routeing protocols (http://bit.ly/1LyAE7H), either to provide end to end connectivity or to provide a monitoring layer so that the actual state of the network topologies can be understood? Home or small networks seem to be getting quite complex quickly and way beyond what consumers can be expected to understand/configure/troubleshoot/optimise, with one or two ISP’s per person (via mobile phone + wifi connectivity) + an ISP for the premises; and wildly differing network segment performance characteristics and requirements (e.g. media streaming vs home automation). tc |
