The constraint is that outbound packets need to go to the right ISP.  That

Some method of identifying the ISP associated with each outbound packet is
necessary.  Policy routing, tunnels and PVC's are a few methods.  VLAN
tagging works, too.

What details of which technology? Cable?  Etherloop?  Wireless?

What is this DOCSIS thing I keep hearing about?
