Yes bgp multihop is a GREAT* way to figure out if a cablemodem** is even /really/ online.
Alas, I've not see much on the traffic engineering side either. * Read "the only way i've found to do this with cisco's ios" ** or any other pipe for that matter. On Tue, 4 Nov 2008, Charles Wyble wrote:

I would like to be able to determine the best path possible and send traffic out the appropriate link.Could this be done with a copy of the BGP tables?Obviously as they are consumer connections, I wouldn't get a BGP feed so would need to download a copy, which has the risk of stale data. Perhaps some sort of multihop BGP setup?I have done some research and found a lot of references to small site multihoming without BGP for link redundancy but not for traffic engineering.Thanks.
