[VoiceOps] CPE side Passive Monitoring

[Faisal Imtiaz]

While this is not a full solution out of the box, we use Mikrotik Routers as smart dmarc. 
They come in many sizes,they are inexpensive and have a lot of functionality built into the Mikrotik ROS which allows us to be able to do a lot of troubleshooting on demand from remote.

> I need to evaluate in the lines of :

> * Easy of deployment (hosted, SaaS model).
> * Probe and licensing costing.
> * Support portal granular stats in order to reduce MTTR.
