	We would need a new extension for CPE, for sure, "customer premise” will no longer describe it well. Also egress shaping will need to stay at the customers end of the bottleneck link (or better all uplinks increased to either 10, 100 or 1000 Mbps so that ethernet link speeds can be used to avoid the link to become the bottleneck). Also the typical switch and AP will be somewhat hard to virtualize… And then we basically need the same hardware at the customer end as we have right now, simply for the modem switch and AP parts...

	• Security and firewall features
	• Parental control services: 

I could be wrong, but I fail to see the business case for an ISP to switch from traditional CPE to basically traditional CPE plus “virtual CPE” in the data center (to badly  paraphrase J. Zawinski “now you have two problems");
