...or the networks we can see coming in the near future.  ZigBee Alliance is driving an IPv6-based multi-link architecture through planned deployments of SE2.0 by several utilities.  BBF and CableLabs both expect IPv6, end-to-end connectivity 

Homenet will avoid breaking existing IPv4 deployments in the networks we've got today, but won't spend resources on unnecessary (in some cases impossible) feature parity.
