That's absolutely a concern Mark, but most of the CPE vendors that support doing this are providing enough juice to keep up with their max forwarding/routing data rates. I don't see 10 Gbps in residential Internet service being normal for quite a long time off even if the port itself is capable of 10Gbps. We have this issue today with commercial customers, but it's generally not as a much of a problem because the commercial CPE get their usage graphed and the commercial CPE have more capabilities for testing.

That's absolutely true, but I don't see any real alternatives in some cases. I've actually built automated testing into some of the CPE we've deployed and that works pretty well for some models but other devices don't seem to be able to fill a ~500 mbps link.
So what are you going to do when 10Gbps FTTH into the home becomes the norm?
Perhaps laptops and servers of the time won't even see this as a rounding error :-\...
Mark.
