Does anyone know where we could get information on the most common
hardware configurations for CPEs?
OpenWrt has an automated build machine that creates a binary on-the-fly, pulling in a list of requested packages. The package selection isn't necessarily interesting for your study, but the variation of manufacturer/models could be.
There are all kinds of things "wrong" with this data:
- It's not used (yet) by the general OpenWrt community
- This server use is skewed toward developers
- Those people may have more powerful machines
- What the heck is going on with the Linksys_e8450?
But maybe it's a useful quick-look at various semi-popular models. You can look up device specs in the OpenWrt Table of Hardware:

Have fun!
