BTW, I expect even DSL folks will have an embedded CPE Router inside a
DSL modem.  Of course, both cable and DSL deployments can also go with
an external CPE Rtr that is standalone and not combined in one device
for both modem and router.  I would like folks to note that our draft
doesn't care.  We have defined a router specification that can be
embedded in a broadband modem or be used to build a standalone CPE
Router.  We have made such facts clear in our document.

Thanks,

Hemant

A cable modem can have an embedded CPE Router - known as an eRouter in
CableLabs parlance.  If the user desires wireless (802.11) connectivity
in their home, they may also buy a Wireless Access Point, which also is
typically a CPE router, and connect the two together.   This is a very
simple, and common, expected deployment (millions of people may have
this in the future), which requires cascading of CPE Routers.
