It's sort of written up in https://www.broadband-forum.org/technical/download/TR-124_Issue-5.pdf. Search for LAN.ADDRESS and go to 6. There are related requirements that reference "LAN.ADDRESS.6". Auto detection of routers behind the ISP CE router is imperfect (which is why manual configuration exists), but usually right. I forget what it is the ISP CE router sees that triggers it to think there is a router connecting to it. I'm thinking it could be some DHCPv4 options that routers tend to ask for but regular hosts don't; but I could be mis-remembering. Auto-detection isn't described in TR-124. > Why isn't homenet standardizing this? Reason 1: This is an IPv4 thing. Why would homenet or IETF standardize an IPv4 thing since IPv4 is historic? Reason 2: The functionality is accomplished within the ISP CE router without anything else needing to do anything special. No need to define requirements to accomplish interoperability. So the ISPs who knowingly wanted this functionality defined it in TR-124 because they use TR-124 to help with CE router RFPs.

For AT&T it's legacy. I realize it's still widely used around the world. Your Network May Vary. Barbara
