Claim Text:
1. A method comprising: receiving an address request that is generated at an endpoint device in a network system, the address request comprising an interface identifier associated with a network topology of the endpoint device, wherein receiving the address request comprises receiving the address request from one of a plurality of termination systems, each of the plurality of termination systems being coupled to a plurality of endpoint devices that are each associated with a given service group; delegating a prefix for the endpoint device in response to the address request, the delegated prefix corresponding to a subnet assignment for the CPE device based on the interface identifier in the address request; transmitting the prefix to the endpoint device in a response packet; setting a route aggregation scheme for data routed to the endpoint device based on the delegated prefix, wherein setting the route aggregation scheme comprises setting the route aggregation scheme at a provisioning system for data routed to the plurality of endpoint devices based on a prefix that is delegated to each of the plurality of termination systems and wherein setting the route aggregation scheme comprises setting the route aggregation scheme in response to determining that the delegated prefix associated with one of the plurality of endpoint devices coupled to a first of the plurality of termination systems is a first in a block of prefixes to have been delegated; and providing the route aggregation scheme to an aggregation router and to a remaining at least one of the plurality of termination systems for an update of respective routing tables.
