Abstract :
While one could argue about the degree of architectural change in the core of the Internet, such a debate would not even exist in a discussion about edge networks. A tremendous shift in the content produced and consumed inside homes has led to speedy deployments of fiber to the home and changes at the edge of the network to accommodate traffic growth while limiting infrastructure deployment. A second dramatic change at the edge network is the tremendous adoption of 802.11 and other wireless technologies by home users. As a result, delivery of services to the home may no longer be determined by the last mile performance but by that of the home network itself, urging service providers to extend their demarkation point into the home itself. In this talk, I am going to discuss how one could potentially address the challenge of management and control of services delivered to home users while limiting operational cost, drawing the analogy between the evolution of service provider networks and enterprise WLANs. Using my work in the area of centralized WLANs as a starting point I will comment on potential solutions that could balance the cost and performance of advanced services to residential users.
