They have a computer plugged into another computer, and they manage both computers.
I am the supreme overlord network administrator of... the home network.
Fear me, I will disconnect you.
On a serious note, I'd expect them do have their own ASN and networking equipment if they were claiming to run their 'own network'.
So by that definition I run my own network too. Neato
Careful or I will use my scissors and cut the string between your tin cans
Touché, our backup connection is via smoke signals.
Have their own router(s) and agreements with two or more bandwidth providers. Not necessarily their own ASN.
I would use this definition as well... I wouldn't connect something centrally managed and bureaucratic like an ASN application to a definition - hell, if you run your own network outside the 'ICANN-net', it would be impossible to define it as 'running your own network' because you have no ASN as such!
I would say, having an ASN would be a good start with having your own network considering you can do BGP
Connections to 2 or more ISPs.
Fear me, I will disconnect you.
That is pretty much the exact attitude I take with my children.
If you do something stupid on our home network, you will find yourself in a lonely, firewalled, QoS'd place...
Harsh much...? > . >
LOL. Actually, since they're my kids I'm nicer about it in real life...but I don't think the 16-year-old will fire up a bit-torrent client again any time soon.
(Not that I have anything against BT, but it's easy for one computer with BT to suck up all Internet bandwidth).
@raindog308 if you found out your kid had a secret vps hosting company what would you do?
Running in his attic/basement :P
Flush his goldfish down the toilet, proclaim it's an introduction to the 'deadpool' and he's to make sure his company doesn't do the same.
Duh?
