Minimising Cost of Lawful Interception in Mobile IP
نویسندگان
چکیده
Communications Interception is an essential part of law enforcement used by authorised government agencies to investigate criminal activities. With the growth of IP based applications and new IP technologies such as mobile IP, Internet Service Providers (ISPs) will find themselves increasingly obliged to provide interception capabilities. IP interception is usually done with expensive hardware based systems the cost of which ISPs would like to minimize. In this paper we propose the use of optimisation techniques to find the optimal location(s) of systems in the network needed to be installed while minimising the cost and ensuring complete coverage of the network.

SPLIT is a simple prototype Lawful Interception software system which is used to evaluate the viability of using both standard network cards and specialised monitoring hardware for the purpose. Lawful Interception requires reliable packet capture, filtering and protocol analysis on high bandwidth links. While standard NICs can take on these various roles, their performance is only adequate in c...
