Claim 10:
11. A consumer customer premises equipment (CPE) in an enterprise network for secure network communication, the consumer CPE comprising:
a processor; and
a memory storing computer-executable instructions that when executed, cause the processor to:
transmit a consumer NHOP to a provider CPE, in a control plane, the consumer NHOP being associated with at least one attribute of an NHOP, the at least one attribute of the NHOP being associated with an encryption key available with the consumer CPE to establish a secure communication tunnel in a data plane from the consumer CPE to the provider CPE;
receive a service definition as a control plane information over the control plane from the provider CPE, the service definition being associated with a service available with the provider CPE;
create a service anchor point based on at least one identifier of the service definition;
transmit a network address translation (NAT) IP request to the provider CPE in response to creation of the service anchor point; and
receive a network address translation (NAT) IP, in response to the NAT IP request, from the provider CPE using the at least one identifier of the service definition, the NAT IP being associated with the service anchor point of the consumer CPE, wherein a stateless service is instantiated on the consumer CPE using the NAT IP.
