I would have to think that this problem has already been solved for DSL,
it certainly has for cable.

But then what about those customers that want a “permanently” assigned IP?
Maybe you and I should hire out someone to engineer a solution we can
both use.
If the change in MAC is tracked, it can (eventually) be re-assigned to
the public IP that belongs to them in that case.

I presume a log could be created each time an IP is handed out tying
it to a MAC.

As long as you can track a particular user to an IP for things such as
subpoenas, copyright infringement emails, I think you’ll be fine.

Or you could even just run wide open DHCP at that point if you
don't care about authentication or limiting leases.

Yeah, trying to eliminate the user having to authenticate. We
know the MAC of the fiber terminal. We have control over the
DLS lines. We have to enable either the fiber or the phone
for them to get service, in my mind that is plenty of
authentication.
Like to have a user plug and play with no extra steps. Like to
not have any more databases. I really don’t care who the user
is etc. If they can get service they are supposed to get service.

You could probably do a really short DHCP lease on the initial
walled garden IP, I don't know how short DHCP Patriot
supports, but I would imagine the shortest would probably
still be 60 seconds.

We have had a DHCPatriot system for about 5 years. We
love it. It’s essentially a captive portal. When a user
first connects, they get a private IP and policy routing
forces them to the portal. When the user authenticates,
the system uses a local user database or RADIUS to
authenticate the them and if successful, ties the MAC
address to a username. Now that the user is known, they
reboot their device (or release/renew or wait a few
minutes) and the system assigns an IP address from the
authenticated address pool.
Infoblox looks like it has a few more features (some DNS
and IPAM stuff).
If you’re in the market for something like the DHCPatriot
system, I recommend getting a demo.

I thought it was pretty interesting. Infoblox has a nice
DHCP server too.
