but most of these boxes tends to come with small fibs and tiny buffers which limits their deployment usefulness. Still, if they work for your requirements, they are completely awesome.
My thinking is that provided they don't limit themselves in the QoS side of things (particularly, how different services going into the CPE can be policed/SLA'd), then they'd make good FTTH access nodes that can compete with GPON. But yes, as an IP route, pretty useless. Mark.
