Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for providing a distributed customer premises equipment (CPE) comprising several devices. A computer system executes a control plane subsystem that sends network control packets using one or more network interfaces for controlling network data packet forwarding operations performed by devices. The network control packets includes a first set of network control packets sent to a first device located at a second location and a second set of network control packets sent to a second device located at a third location.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for providing a distributed customer premises equipment (CPE) comprising several devices. The distributed CPE may include a control plane subsystem configured to execute on a first device, a first data plane subsystem configured to execute on a second device, and a second data plane subsystem configured to execute on a third device. The second device may be further configured to execute a first virtual machine capable of executing a first network function. The third device may be further configured to execute a second virtual machine capable of executing a second network function. In certain embodiments, the control plane subsystem may be configured to control forwarding functionality of the first data plane subsystem and the second data plane subsystem, and control the first network function and the second network function. In certain embodiments, the first device and the second device are customer premises equipment (CPE) devices.
