The interesting part here is that the consumer's layer 1 is actually a virtualized layer 4-5 on the ISP's side (and maybe even 6 if you include FBI watching your packets).
It blew my mind when I realized that the difference between malware and "military grade" malware is just that they target exactly those token ring'ed devices, where they try to craft network packets where they know that the implementation is gonna fail in the parsing process.
Once you realize that and the underlying containers that come with it, you can efficiently redteam anything. Cisco deep packet inspecting switches? VLANs? VPNs? No problemo, they got an outdated linux on there, too. And they usually don't have the RAM to compensate for buggy implementations either.
