Specifically I am working on a security product for ISP’s that has a custom policy engine per individual Router, but in theory *this should run on a Router from any Manufacturer.*
Considering each Manufacturer (TP-Link, Actiontec, Cisco, Greenwave Systems, Linksys) are running their own OS along with differing chipsets/CPU/Flash/Ram brands with varying resource capabilities…**what is the best method of running/deploying a policy engine that can be dynamically updated?**
I’ve found a few suggestions pointing at developing an SDK for ISP’s to utilize or developing an Agent the ISP can deploy across all customers running their equipment but hit a roadblock on determining which/if either are best to pursue.
An SDK seems scalable but I am not sure what facets to consider on implementing an SDK to conform to differing chipsets/CPU/Flash/Ram.
An Agent seems more feasible but not scalable as it will require a full reboot of a ISP customers Router.
In both cases please take into consideration the resource constrained device will have minimum specs of:
2 Cores, 600 MHz
128 Mb Flash
512 Mb RAM
