主权项

1. A method, comprising:
receiving, by a network device and over a broadband access circuit, layer 2 traffic from an access device at a customer premises,
the network device being located external to the customer premises; providing, by the network device, dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) services for a plurality of computing devices located at the customer premises,
the plurality of computing devices including a first computing device and a second computing device; maintaining, by the network device, state information, on a per-computing device basis, for the customer premises,
the state information indicating a state of a session; and providing, by the network device, continuity of services across the first computing device and the second computing device based on the state of the session and based on use of the first computing device being switched to the second computing device.
