Ethernet over ADSL: Difference between revisions

*Reliability - by making CPE simpler, crashes could be less likely. The ISP manages their datacentre equipment and can restart it as needed without visiting any customers. The ISP might ask the CPE to reflash eeprom remotely if this needed as well. Also possibly good for subscribers connecting ethernet kiosks or ledboards back to their hq.

*IPv4 conservation - the virtual routers can collaborate on address space so that addresses are issued as needed from a single pool or allocated statically as agreed between ISP and customer.
