I pretty much say 'meh' to that. What it really means is that a smart
person can probably quickly find a way to exploit your network because
everyone is reinventing the wheel and making a lot of mistakes doing it.
I get what you're saying but I don't agree that it is a good reason for
lack of standardization. Imagine how nice it would be if you could just
hook up an SM and have the following things happen:
Customer plugs in any device and it just works (no calling you to have
you help configure PPPoE, authorize their new MAC)
Customer loops their network and it doesn't break stuff beyond the SM
Customer can't do stuff beyond the SM even though it's not running NAT
(e.g. ARP poisoning)
Rate limiting, etc, is standardized in the SM
This is a small subset what you get with a cable modem, and a cable
modem is not a (at a high level) complicated or expensive device.

Mike,
I completely agree and I think it is a goal the WISP industry
needs to
work towards - the provisioning of CPE is still a nightmare in
comparison to DOCSIS. PPPoE is not a good solution, IMO -
it's arguably
better than nothing but you shouldn't have to rely on the
customer
supplied equipment being configured correctly to just auth to the
network - that's the job of the ISP CPE.
It's not even that hard of a problem to solve in the grand
scheme of things.

ISP remains hand-off. The WISP industry makes it difficult to
do so. Currently everything I do is NATed at the CPE, but I'd
like to make that optional, not a requirement. Obviously for
enterprise\wholesale level connections I do something
different, but there's too many hands involved to do that for
residential at this time.

Never have a problem with it this way and can't see any good
reason to NAT there.
