If your cable modem has a real ip address and not a private range ip performance could drop due to the scans. My surfboard does not obtain a true ip, mine is something like 192.168.1.5 so the only way it could be scanned would be internally.
From: Mike <buggin () optonline net> To: vuln-dev () securityfocus com Subject: CR and Cable Modems Date: 8 Aug 2001 00:39:39 -0000 Is it possible for the CR worm to affect the performance of a cable modem if that modem has a built in web based configuration tool that is accessed via a 192 static ip? To be a little more specific, by performance I am suggesting the possibility for the built in USB feature to drop an ip address after being probed by the CR? Two particular cable modems that I am inquiring about would be the 3Com home connect and the Motorola SB4100.
