What I meant that as we've been deploying NFV as a VM, cloud-native
means we take that VM and containerize it further. It's a further
diffusion of NFV, in my book. The benefits about the added de-layering
(if one can call it that) are left as an exercise to the operator.

Well, vCPE's and vBNG's have long been the holy grail for some of us,
especially since it makes IPv6 roll-out significantly simpler.
