Abstract
A network intermediate device interacts with a remote network element and performs the control plane interactions for a communication protocol used on a network segment between the network intermediate device and the destination, and interacts with customer premises equipment CPE to offload data plane transactions according to the protocol normally performed by the network intermediate device to the CPE, without the CPE needing to be aware of the complexities of the protocol involved. By distributing certain recurring packet data processing functions, like appending headers and removing headers, to the endpoints, the packet processing at the network intermediate devices is streamlined and processing bottlenecks are alleviated.
