cable internet question

[Chuck Young]

Some quick points:

Folks have done it with modems and MLPPP, but this is cable.  "This is the
way"

1)  How are you going to get several companies to lay cable to your premises
or (better)get more than one cable connection from a single provider?  You
can't.

2)  Per-packet load balancing is easy enough across serial lines to a single
pop (we sell a 6xT1 service that does this), but cable is a psuedo ethernet
connection (not serial).

Are you building a linux cluster and selling processing time from your home?
