Sure, I don't disbelieve Barbara.  All I was saying is that a routed
CMTS network will never have this problem and Cisco, for one, has always
built only a routed CMTS.  Before docsis 1.0, there were bridged CMTSs
or even after Docsis 1.0, if a CMTS was only a bridged CMTS, this
problem would arise.  However, the subject of our IETF thread is a
routed IPv6 network at the first hop of the SP which is a CMTS for cable
and BNG for DSL. There may be other DSL models where some other device
is the first hop and not the BNG, but the point of our discussion is the
first hop IPv6 router and any interactions between this SP router and
the home CPE Rtr.
