RAS, I have to admit that I'm guilty of using the phrase "class C" more or less interchangably with "/24" - I suspect a lot of us still do that... On 11/2/05 2:22 PM, "Richard A Steenbergen" <ras@e-gerbil.net> wrote:

There is nothing about a cable modem that would normally prevent a BGP session. Nor do all the intermediate routers need to support BGP (multi-hop BGP). However, direct connections are preferred.
Your _real_ challenge is convincing Roadrunner's NOC staff to program one of their backbone routers to do a BGP session with a cable modem sub. Or, for that matter, getting them to even route a non-roadrunner IP block to a cable modem sub.
Instead you might try borrowing a bunch of old 2500s and setting up a test lab that isn't connected to actual net.
Best of luck on your CCIE.
A) No cable company in their right mind is going to speak BGP to a $29.95/mo residential customer, period.
B) The answer to his question about "I don't know if what I'm doing will violate the AUP or not" is, when in doubt the answer is YES. No sane comapny is going to let this guy near bgp with a 10ft pole after that statement, but then again no sane people read nanog any more I suspect.
C) If this guy actually had a CCIE, I would encourage Cisco to quickly implement a SWAT team responsible for reposessing the CCIE medals of anyone caught using the words "Class C" for a /24 out of 66. space.
D) Please do not feed the trolls. :)
