That really makes sense - on an incredibly smaller scale (and I mean MUCH smaller scale), we operate cable modem in

three IP assignments to native V6 we'd reclaim a lot of V4 space - I can only imagine someone their size and what 
this means...

Excuse the newbie question: Why use public IP space for local CPE management and VoIP? Doesn't DOCSIS support traffic 
separation?
