DVNT1 is on a distinguished road
If you only use a typical broadband router and it is connected directly to the cable modem then you are only using one IP address.

I say typical broadband router because those do not work with more than one public IP address. Router that will usually cost more money than just a couple hundred dollars (USD).


The router does know where to direct traffic because of port mapping and the cross reference table it keeps.
