“…Here, the vCPE is implemented as a chain of virtual machines (VM) (evidencing a scalability issue). In the same line of thought, Mayoano et al 21 and Proença et al 11 propose NFV‐based vCPEs for residential network gateways focusing on an easily management of home gateways, while reducing service design time and allowing the coexistence with current (legacy) architectures. Herbaut et al 10 proposes the use of modular gateways for residential home gateways, with the modules redirecting the traffic to virtualized network functions.…”

Emerging concepts such as Software Defined Networking (SDN), Network Function Virtualization (NFV) and Network Slicing have been pushing new and flexible ways for providers to manage their services through the simplification of the hardware, allowing a faster deployment of new services and the optimization of their capital and operational expenses. Accordingly, the customer premises equipment (CPE) used at the customer site for his/her access to the network has been changing its paradigm in order to allow both customers and providers to benefit from virtualization. In this paper we review the latest developments and proposals on the CPE virtualization, discussing its challenges and opportunities, as well as point out for future directions.

“…Recent research works combined SDN and NFV to provide not only a flexible management of the home network but also a faster deployment of new revenue‐generating services. This architecture aims to reduce the OpEX and CapEX costs . In this section, we will first present the NFV paradigm, and then review and discuss the SDN/NFV‐based home area network.…”

“…Indeed, networks are not only built from switches and routers but also from middleboxes providing caches, deep packet inspection, firewalls, etc, which are complex tasks for the SDN controller . In the literature, many works proposed the design of a fully or partially virtualized home gateway . The main idea is evolving the home gateway to a simple bridge (low layer connectivity) between the home network and the access network and virtualizing the advanced features such as firewall, parental control, etc .…”

Living in a smart home is an entirely new experience, which enhances our everyday life. Many manufactures and internet of things service providers developed their own smart home services from which the customer can benefit from running a software over his smartphone or tablet. Today, it is becoming increasingly complex for the homeowner to control and manage the growing number of heterogeneous home connected devices through a multitude of available services. Several researchers proposed to improve the home area network design by introducing the software defined networking approach. Although, the software‐defined network (SDN) approach has many advantages, combining it with other approaches like slicing and network function virtualization can give more benefits such as improving the quality of service and the quality of experience, the management, and the control of the network. In this review, we present and discuss recent works that improve the design of the home area network considering SDN or a combination of SDN with slicing and network function virtualization.
