Abstract
Methods and apparatuses for locating cloned CPEs in a communication system are provided. A clone detector receives from each access router in a communication system the MAC addresses of CPEs registered with the access router. The clone detector compares the MAC addresses to identify a cloned MAC address. The clone detector determines the service address for the cloned MAC address and identifies neighboring CPEs to the service address. The clone detector determines the access router to which the neighboring CPEs are registered and identifies a CPE having the cloned MAC address and registered to any other access router than the access router to which the neighboring CPEs are registered as a cloned CPE.
