Whiteboard

If I understand well:
 - we have at least 2 clients (any box with a working Ethernet can be
  used as clients. BTW it is still useful to compile on clients
  a PCP client (libpcp of any AFTR distrib, don't forget the python
  (2 or 3) module), NAT-PMP client (libnatpmp on miniupnp site) and
  UPnP IGD client (original or modified miniupnpc)).

 - we have 2 CPEs, if a CPE is a netbook a switch is needed between
  this netbook and clients. if a CPE is a Netgear the switch is integrated.
  BTW the UPnP IGD/NAT-PMP/PCP server runs in the CPE.

 - we have a switch between the CPEs and an instance of an AFTR.
  Fine but port replication is a bad idea: it is far simpler to run
  wireshark (without the promisc mode) on the AFTR. BTW if you want
  to show thing and have a suitcase/bag for heavy things IMHO a VGA
  retro projector is far more useful than a carrier grade switch.

 - two AFTR boxes, one is connected at one time. Please forget ucarp
  and vrrp, first they don't work with IPv6, second they introduce
  a latency in switches. Simply force the same Ethernet and IP addresses
  on both sides of the two boxes (cf my mail saying how to do it
  after 10mn of experiments).
