Hi Pros,
Thinking of Virtual CPE as a service to enterprise customers where CPE is
virtualized in POP and low cost device in customer premises as a simple
bridge device which bridges the traffic to v-CPE in POP. This is to have
cost advantage to customers and in POP, any different service can be
We just run q-in-q from a relatively inexpensive CPE switch back to our
nearest node. The advantage to this is that it's simple, and we can run
either over our own fiber or tunnel through other carrier's networks if
needed for type-2 circuits. If you're tunneling you need to make sure your

This means the default gateway for customer LAN is
