The modem obtains a private 10.x.x.x for managability. It gets its IP
from the CNR or NetID box at the aggregation sites.

The CPE(computer/router) gets a public routable IP.



On the Adelphia network, it can be longer, since the IP utilization from
CNR and/or NetID comes out on the 80%. Then the DCC requests more IP's
to be placed on the DHCP server(s). As long as the DHCP pool does not
fill up and more IP's are placed within the 80% mark, you can basically
"own" that DHCP address persay.
