Thanks for the info at least :)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-No-wonder-they-call-em-CMTS-12487724 Tue, 25 Jan 2005 20:15:22 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-No-wonder-they-call-em-CMTS-12485871
For example, when I was on the TeraPro, the first hop was TLGWnn.flfrd.phub.etc which is the TeraLink controller which essentially controls all the CMTS units in its rack. Next hop is the first gateway after the CMTS - GW03.flfrd.phub.etc.

Now, with DOCSIS, the first hop is a 10.*.*.* non-routing IP which is the CMTS followed by GW03.flfrd.phub.etc.

In both cases the next hop is the main router out of the flfrd phub ... GW01

It is possible to configure the CMTS to not show in a tracert.

In most cases, that hop is a 10.*.*.1 IP address and all the modems hung on it are a 10.*.*.nn all in the same group.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-No-wonder-they-call-em-CMTS-12485871 Tue, 25 Jan 2005 17:01:58 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-No-wonder-they-call-em-CMTS-12485779
What you are probably pinging is your gateway, the first route out of your CMTS.

LOL ever since this summer they introduced these cable modem terminators my pings died... They terminated my damn modem! What was the reason of having bringing these things that got out of control? all they were supposed to do is just make my damn modem unable to take a manual IP. but now look. Modem is dead! BS
Send em back to space for ever and never hook them up to our lines again!
You've had a CMTS since you signed up.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-No-wonder-they-call-em-CMTS-12485452 Tue, 25 Jan 2005 16:17:39 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-No-wonder-they-call-em-CMTS-12481500 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-No-wonder-they-call-em-CMTS-12481500 Tue, 25 Jan 2005 08:50:59 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-No-wonder-they-call-em-CMTS-12481142
Obviously you haven't read much of the explinations being given by Sbrook about how things work. Take a moment to re-read the posts.

YOU ARE IN A CONGESTED AREA, YOU NEED TO BE RESEGMENTED. It will probably happen at some point.

Please from now on stop with the meanless posts about things you know very little about.

A cmts is not new and it's not why you have problems with your ping times.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-No-wonder-they-call-em-CMTS-12481142 Tue, 25 Jan 2005 07:28:10 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/No-wonder-they-call-em-CMTS-12480445 M - Modem
