ABSTRACT:
A method and system for use in identifying customer premises equipment (CPE) in a distributed network are presented. The method includes receiving a first point-to-point-over Ethernet active discovery packet generating a device identifier code that identifies a product model of a customer premises equipment (CPE) device, and sending a second point-to-point over Ethernet (PPPoE) active discovery packet. The second PPPoE active discovery packet includes a tag that includes the device identifier code.
