A cable router is used in cable broadband Internet
access to separate a customer's local network from the network
operator's network. In order to allow multiple network devices on
the internal network to share a single IP address allocated
by the cable ISP (Internet service provider), a cable router normally includes a NAT router. A cable router
may provide a number of ports for the local network;
one common configuration provides four 100baseT, 100 Mbps Ethernet lines.
