Abstract: It is determined that a first customer premises equipment (CPE) that provides external network access to a first local area network and that is communicatively coupled to a first aggregation device is to be dynamically provisioned with a first differentiated feature that is different from default features identified in a first boot configuration from which the first CPE obtains features during a boot phase of the first CPE. A first aggregation driver process that corresponds to the first aggregation device is identified. A request to implement the first differentiated feature on the first aggregation device is sent to the first aggregation driver process.

Abstract: It is determined that a customer premises equipment (CPE) that provides data access to a local area network has been dynamically provisioned with a differentiated feature that is different from default features identified in a boot configuration from which the CPE obtains features during a boot phase of the CPE. A first CPE identifier of the CPE is determined and stored in a memory. Subsequent to storing the first CPE identifier in the memory, information that contains a second CPE identifier and that indicates that a CPE identified by the second CPE identifier has initiated a boot phase is received. It is determined that the second CPE identifier matches the first CPE identifier. Subsequent to the CPE initiating the boot phase, the CPE is caused to be dynamically provisioned with the differentiated feature.

Abstract: Methods and systems for service integrated domain name servers are described. A method for service integrated domain name server processing includes receiving, by a requesting device, a service fully qualified domain name (FQDN) and an anycast Internet Protocol (IP) address for service integrated domain name servers, where each service integrated domain name server includes the anycast IP address and a unicast IP address. The requesting device queries domain name servers on the service integrated domain name servers with the anycast IP address to resolve the service FQDN. The requesting device receives the unicast IP address from a closest service integrated domain name server. The requesting device saves the unicast IP address, sends to a service server on the closest service integrated domain name server, a service request on the unicast IP address and receives from the service server, results for the service request.
