Are our public IPs shared?

Hi, just a general question about our public IP addresses, are they shared between customers?

I thought our IPs are dynamic so you might get a different one every so often, but thought they'd be unique for each customer.

Anyone know if this assumption is correct?

Thanks

At some VM may go the AI one IP shared between two each getting the same WAN IP CGNAT but not yet

As to the problem you can't have say one WAN IP split port 80 inbound between two but with AI it can check by send a SYN down each MAC on the shared WAN IP and seeing who replies then if only one replies traffic going to to that MAC same with UDP or protocol 47, 50 only no SYN as for ICMP its like if one replies and the other don't well its allowed.

That is the short version of what we will see to keep IPv4 alive

Let's not forget our VM IE friends are already on CGNAT for IPv4, along with IPv6.  However most of the VM IE gaming community request a single IPv4 and lose the IPv6 address. Hopefully LG will not go down that route in the UK?

At least with my BT connection I have a single IPv4 and get IPv6 as well.  The downside is the IPv4 address does change quite often.
