Why? What is/are the technical or marketing reason(s) that make you
want to deploy routers over bridges knowing that they are more
expensive? For what kinds of customers? What kinds of access
networks? How much do you want to spend on CPE gear? How much remote
manageability? How much customer manageability? What about mass
firmware upgrades, diagnostics, and other OSS functions? (AFAIK the
only standards based option for management behind a router is TR-069).
