[kwlug-disc] Teksavvy service - two public ips, plus ipv6

At home I have Teksavvy cable.

Last month they sent a "newer" Technicolor box with two ports on it.

I finally got around to check the other port, plugging a laptop directly.

- My laptop gets ipv4 address that is also a publicly visible address.

- Laptop also got ipv6 address that is also publicly visible.


What is going on? Two ips per household?

I understand that ipv6 can already be publicly visible, but with ipv4 we 
supposed to not have enough of them. Am I missing something?

Have the world moved to some new place?

I never checked this, cause I have usual router with nat, ports, wifi 
and whatnot connected to provider's port. And older boxes run ipv4.
