Private IPs are being used by larger ISPs 2001-11-15

There is one interesting factiod, which may explain the blackholes in the broadband ISP space. Running an outbound traceroute from nodes hosted by some of the larger ISPs will show that they are using RFC-1918 IP space in their public routers.

Sprintbroadband and @home traceroutes show that they use 10.0.0.0 as part of their network.

bash$ /usr/sbin/traceroute www.microsoft.com

traceroute: Warning: www.microsoft.com has multiple addresses; using 207.46.197.102

traceroute to www.microsoft.akadns.net (207.46.197.102), 30 hops max, 38 byte packets

1 10.200.214.1 (10.200.214.1) 1.249 ms 1.548 ms 1.232 ms

(This one is legal - inside a NAT firewall)

2 10.75.93.1 (10.75.93.1) 20.120 ms 11.460 ms 10.065 ms

(This one is outside the NAT firewall, one hop past the cable modem, which has a 67.166.24.1 IP address.)

3 bb3-ge5-0.rdc1.sfba.home.net (24.1.4.1) 9.566 ms 14.576 ms 22.414 ms

4 bb1-ge3-1.rdc1.sfba.home.net (216.197.144.33) 11.489 ms 16.973 ms 8.911 ms
