Thousands of rules seems to me a lot.
(I keep doubts that, if CE's support statically shared addresses,
keeping thousands of IPv4 prefixes would be needed to support IPv4 via
IPv6.)
In any case, this can be among factors that differentiate which
solution applies best to which network.
Although I think that it would be not a big problem for stateless GW
to handle these rules, I would still doubt the possibility that a
customer-side CPE dealing with the same amount of IPv4 prefixes with
network-side GW.
Adapting a CE to up to 1000 rules doesn't seem difficult to me, and
with O(log n) matching this can be done with satisfactory performance.
(More details would be private consultancy ;-)).
In theory, the CE can be connected to multiple domains (1000? with
different rules), but in practice I guess that will not happen even in
context of fragmented spaces where only the Access Gateway (ISP side)
needs to maintain "1000.." rules of domains.
