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