I don't consider bridging to be an acceptable method of broadband
delivery... thus, my insistence on routing at the CPE.

Waverider client bridges (EUMs) port block several ports, including SMB 
by default, which is a nice feature, since it keeps the traffic "off the 
air" before it gets back to the core router to filter. Port filtering in 
the CPE is a nice capability to have, IMO. These ports blocked don't
