RE: How to manage Static IPs to customers

["K MEKKAOUI" <amekkaoui () mektel ca>]

I am also interested in this. We are using DOCSIS and I am not sure what other providers with DOCSIS are using, any 
help on this will be appreciated.

Thank you

On our network(which isn't docsis, granted) we use PPPoE for all static IP addresses, because it allows /32 ip address 
allocations for all home CPE routers, upstream, the routers handle routing via ospf to change the path of where that 
/32 public IP goes. It allows "zero touch" moving of a customer from one PoP to another.

So in most cases I'm aware of, the cable provider did not use RIP directly
to a customer-managed device.  The cable operator would deploy their own
managed device, implement RIP and the appropriate keychains between the
operator-managed premise device and the CMTS.  As for the use cases, RIP was
implemented to address the specific 'recombine' use case where one day (or
evening) cable customer attachments could be moved from one CMTS to another.
Instrumenting that with DHCP or TR69 usually required other teams'
involvement and didn't allow portability.

With IPv6 you get PD which helps immensely.

That's surprising to me, I have no intentions to do routing with our cable
subscribers, that seems like a headache for both sides Today we have
specific ranges within subnets from where we assign IPs to customers, my
main problem that I'm trying to get around is having to change a customer
static IP if their node gets splitter and I have to mode them to a different
CMTS

Yep, it's RIP.  They don't support IPv6 on this either.  I've been asking
for
IPv6 since 2006, it's always next year.
