Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for collecting data from CPE devices located on a remote LAN are provided. Communication is established over a WAN with a gateway attached to the LAN. The gateway is then used to enumerate the CPE devices on the LAN. A firewall pinhole is created in the gateway for each CPE device on the LAN, and communication is established through the pinholes to the CPE devices to collect the desired data.
