Is there any reason why a router needs multiple hardware interfaces?
I don't see any reason why I can't have multiple ADSL routers all with static IP addresses on (say) 192.168.1.x addresses and the rest of the network on 192.168.2.x addresses, all on the same ethernet network, but that doesn't seem to be how things are expected to be set up and I can't get my head around why it matters.
So what good would this do you? All the routers can talk to each other, the rest of the network can communicate with itself but you have no way to communicate between them.
What advantages would using the same physical network confer?
... and what/who decides which router to use?
