host-identifier with IPv6

[Frank Bulk]

I'm not aware of any MSO handing out IPs to their CMs or CPE based on
circuit ID.  It's my understanding that everyone uses MAC addresses.

This is just not the way things normally go.   Normally you go down to
Best Buy and buy a device, and you plug it in, and because it follows
the DOCSIS spec, it Just Works.   It's a lot of extra work for the ISP
to track the Mac address of the device, and it's usually unnecessary
since you're going to be more reliably identified by your circuit ID.
