As was just recently discussed in the "Strange traceroute" thread here, @Home uses 10/8 addresses on their internal links. They don't show up in the default-free routing tables. I suspect they do this in an attempt to make their internal routers less vulnerable to attack. Bruce.
Unsing 10/8 also saves you from having to use up valuable "real" routable ip addresses for the modems which need to be individually adressable. -- dursec.com / kyx.net - we're from the future http://www.dursec.com learn kanga-foo from security experts: CanSecWest - April 19-21 Vancouver Speakers: Ron Gula/NSW, Ken Williams/E&Y, Marty Roesch/Hiverworld, Fyodor/insecure.org, RainForestPuppy/wiretrip.net, Theo de Raadt/OpenBSD, Max Vision/whitehats.com
