Not sure what the actual cpc stands for, but it's basically the dhcp range you are using on your UBR.

Re: Acronym Question
CPC stands for Cable-modem Public Class (or it did last time someone explained) It used to be just PC, but a distinction between CM and STB was later added. Public Class being a public range of Class C IP addresses.
You can have more than one public class c (i.e. 81.99.128.x) on one UBR interface, cos it can have more than 254 customers.
