My Hitron CDA-35 cable modem (available only through ISPs; purchased from Rogers) reports a WAN and gateway IP addresses that bear no resemblance to my public IP.
The modem's IP addresses are in the public address space; why would the ISP give me one IP to connect to them and then another to connect to the public internet?
Out of curiousity I looked up the modem's IP and it is listed as belonging to DoD Network Information Center in Columbus, Ohio.![Thinking face :thinking: 🤔](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/6.6/png/unicode/64/1f914.png)

I haven't done much more research on the matter but the records appear to be current as of 2020-12-1, at least on the sites I used. I suppose it could be that the DoD sold a bunch of IP addresses and the records were not updated.
