I was recently reading a few IPv6 patent, and happened upon on developed by Wesley E. George, Time Warner Cable Inc. on the topic of Use of dns information as trigger for dynamic ipv4 address allocation. It seems to impact the allocation of the IPv4 & IPv6 address for the gateway router, software defined consumer CPE, UPNP, CGN, content-based network, residential broadband networks; DSL networks; fiber-to-the-home (FTTH), fiber-to-the-node (FTTN), or fiber-to-the-curb (FTTC) networks; wireless Internet service providers (WISP)(fixed wireless to replace home broadband, typically in rural areas); or indeed to any situation with an on-demand IPv4 connection and dynamically assigned addressing. Am I reading this wrong? Has Time Warner patented all functions on the CPE? Joe Klein "Inveniam viam aut faciam"
