Excellent Idea.

We should lobby the government to get this installed on all CPE devices, shift the problem onto the equipment vendors.

It's perhaps akin to the government trying to stop driving fatalities by making main roads department coat the sides of all roads everywhere with marshmallows vs installing seatbelts or airbags in every vehicle.

Perhaps this could co-incide with the IPv6 CPE Rollout coming up ;)

In other countries, when mandated traffic classification/filtering regimes at the network level have been deemed 'insufficient' by TPTB, the next step has been to go to the endpoint itself.
