Abstract
Systems and methods can provide for specifying and enforcing IPv4 and IPv6 CPE limits in a modem device. In some implementations, such systems and methods can inspect a packet originating from CPEs behind a modem to determine whether the packet is an IPv4 or IPv6 packet. Such systems and methods can compare the packet source MAC address to determine whether the address exists in the IPv4 and/or IPv6 CPE tables. The modem can then perform varying actions based on IPv4 or IPv6 CPE limit enforcement mechanisms, thereby alleviating the problem of a single CPE limit enforcement policy for all CPEs.
