And when you roam?

So maybe it would be easier then to use L3 routing protocol? Each node
gets its own IPv6 subnet, each client for each node is mapped to an IP
in the subnet, we can change this IP as often as we want, this IP is the
only thing visible beyond the direct network of the node. If we want, we
can do IPv6 NAT on the gateway. So this is then your idea above, just
that fakeMAC is IPv6. You do not have roaming as well.
