Residential subscribers: numbered or unnumbered?

[Philip Matthews]

Are these PPPoE or IPoE deployments?

And more importantly, any insights as to WHY they went this route? Were the other options considered? 

For IPoE with RA/SLAAC, I am curious to know how the provider learns of an address on the CPE for pings or whatever?  Or do they just not care?
