Comcast, cable service. Request new IP as much as you want, you gonna
get the same one. May be the xDSL people need to patch their software to
cache MAC addresses or physical connection identifier.
What does this mean? What good would 'caching MAC addresses' any more
than is currently done (since it is already done by dhcpd) do?
If I were an ISP admin, and I found out there is somone requesting a new
IP every minute (or every hour for that matter), the first thing I'd do is
I'd start looking how to prevent it.
Why? There's no way to stop people sending out random IP packets
without you imposing some sort of dictatorial tax, and that would not
go over well with the customers. It's not that much traffic in the
grand scheme of the intarwebz, is it? Why would you go to that
trouble?
