Well, it would help if operators tried to buy CPEs taht were not only bare-minimum for what they need today. Right now I hear more about "virtualised CPE" to save cost (ie move part of the CPE implementation to the data center) than to spend more money on features in the CPE. My hope is still on the mobile phone SoCs trickling down to the home gateway space so we get more CPU power there at decent price point. Also possibly that the whole SDN movement means hardware will get standardized APIs so in case there is hardware acceleration on the CPE, this can be handled by any kernel and not just the kernel that the vendor has modified to work with their special hardware. -- Mikael Abrahamsson email: swmike@swm.pp.se
