Novel tools and techniques might provide for implementing customer-based Internet of Things ("IoT") functionality. Various methods, systems, and apparatuses might provide connectivity between a network interface device ("NID") and each of one or more first user devices of a plurality of user devices associated with the customer premises and/or a user who is associated with the customer premises. At least one virtual network function ("VNF") might be sent to each of the one or more first user devices. Each of the one or more first user devices might be mapped with each of one or more second user devices of the plurality of user devices associated with at least one of the customer premises or the user who is associated with the customer premises, and with each resource node of a plurality of resource nodes in communication with the NID, based at least in part on user input.
