Hi!
Hey! what about combining L2 and L3 routing protocols
in a clever way,
so that you could have "small" L2 clouds where roaming matters and
location tracking doesn't; and those L2 clouds are stitched together
(routed) by the L3 protocol?
by "roaming matters" i mean, for example, a building, a big house, or a
campus: a place where you actually will want to roam without losing
persistent connections
and at the same time, you won't mind if someone can determine whether
you're on the first floor or second floor of the building.
This would probably even increase privacy! Because if we have a L2 over
whole campus, outside the campus, somebody tracking you will be able to
determine only that you are on the campus. (With L3 tracerouting tools.)
So you increase local subnet of a node in L3.
