As far as I understood, smart metering networks e.g. need a routing
device as the underlying technology can't be bridged to Ethernet.
Also, they are thinking about multihomed home networks which e.g. helps
migrating between providers, or for redundancy.

No kidding, but they (IETF) are actually sporting the idea of running
OSPF in residential LANs to accomodate such scenarios in a plug-and-play
manner. :-)

Best regards,
Daniel
