Mmmmmm... this trace is from an @Work/Excite circuit that is about to go dark. The "cable modem" is (as far as I can tell) the Cisco 2600 at the customer site. Either that or @Work's customer gateway address.

Cable modems actually "have" two IP's: one rfc1918 that they use for
provisioning purposes and in the actual IP of the cable modem device,
one real IP that they pass on to the end-user's device.  Many of the
newer cable modems are now showing the private IP in traces where
previously they'd pass and not respond to ICMP.  As for why, who knows?
My best guess is to ease tracking down offending IP's vs. users.

Routing through a cable interface that has a 10.x address as its primary
ip
address would be my first guess, esp. due to the 24.x address.

!
int cable3/0
ip address 10.x.x.x. x.x.x.x.x
ip address public.for.cpe.equip mask.mask.mask.mask secondary

Can someone explain this trace to me. How on earth did the 10.0.0.0
network
get inserted into the last hop?
