Wow! Next time it is better you send us ascii diagram of the network
topology you are talking about because I was on a totally different page
than you were.  Thanks to my Cisco colleague in Ole who talked with you
at the IETF and then Ole pinged my buddy Wes and explained your
topology, I realized, I am talking one thing while you are talking
another.  We were all thinking that the CPE Rtr would be the first hop
in the home while you were describing a hub directly behind the
broadband modem.  The hub is a totally broken model to deploy your
Airport Extreme with the Apple TV.  The hub sends all your video to the
SP, say Comcast, and your home access will be shutdown fairly soon
because the home hogged so much of their network bandwidth with the
video going between the Apple TV and Airport Extreme. Sorry, I don't
consider this totally broken network as a reason to add MSR RFC 4191 to
the CPE Rtr just yet.

Thanks, Wes, and Ole.
