BTW, if you do an "ip -6 add show eno1" do the numbers a358:d643 appear in the output?
-bash.1[~]: ip -6 add show eno1 2: eno1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state UP group default qlen 1000 inet6 2001:558:6040:5d:9d66:dfa1:a358:d643/128 scope global dynamic noprefixroute valid_lft 342949sec preferred_lft 342949sec inet6 fe80::3285:a9ff:fe97:537e/64 scope link noprefixroute valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever -bash.2[~]:
So the answer is yes.

But most people don't realize that their ISP modem is also a router.
I don't think my modem is also a router, but I'm not sure. It's an Arris model TM822G, self-purchased (not rented from the ISP). So I'm inclined to agree with Ed... (Ed (11:26pm))
We shall see how he answers (if he does) my question on "ip add". I have my own good reason to suspect he actually is directly connected.
Are Ed and I correct? What is the significance/importance of this?
