Well, sure, MCI is a single company that owns that many networks and possibly network devices, but are you saying there's a single group of people within MCI who are tasked with mapping, down to the host level, across their entire network? It would seem reasonable to me that there is some hierarchy involved...European division deals with its network, etc. On Sun, 22 Jun 2003, Jonathan Crockett wrote:
I am a network engineer for a cable ISP. We have over 50,000 cable modems and around 65,000 customer devices. We only have 200-250 networks, but well over 100,000 ip devices.
What would be the value of mapping all those CPEs? Not that there isn't one, I just don't know what it is. Andy --- Andy Dills Xecunet, Inc. www.xecu.net 301-682-9972 ---
