Re: Comcast cablemodems and IPV6

pppoe is, as you say limited to dsl and wireless authentication.

Ive never seen it done with a cablemodem, unless something's changed
recently.

As of 2002 (when I moved out), Comcast/Baltimore did not use PPPoE, 
instead opting for the "phone in your cablemodem's MAC address and we'll

turn on the signal" DOCSIS method.  I may be wrong, but I think PPPoE is

limited to the xDSL world.
