This paper proposes a framework where Customer Premises Equipments (CPEs) are dynamically instantiated, by leveraging Software Defined Networking (SDN) and Network Function Vitualisation (NFV), in the cloud as a chain of containerised virtual network functions (VNFs). Resulting virtual CPE instances (i.e., vCPEs) are organised in clusters and a Management and Orchestrator (MANO) entity is used to monitor the cl...
