One embodiment of the invention includes a method for prefix delegation to a customer premises equipment (CPE) device in a network system. The method includes receiving a dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) request that is generated at the CPE device. The address request can include an interface identifier associated with a network topology of the CPE device. The method also includes delegating a prefix for the CPE device in response to the address request, the delegated prefix corresponding to a subnet assignment for the CPE device based on the interface identifier in the address request. The method further includes transmitting the prefix to the CPE device in a response packet, and setting a route aggregation scheme for data routed to the endpoint device based on the delegated prefix.
