LAWFUL INTERCEPTION IN WIRELINE BROADBAND NETWORKS

摘要

Systems and methods are provided for lawful interception of data transmissions through at least one broadband network. Data transmissions, including voice and data services as well as high bandwidth transmissions such as multimedia and video, are intercepted and routed to authorized agencies such as law enforcement monitoring facilities. The systems and methods also enable interception of data transmissions such as peer to peer type data transmissions that pass through broadband networks from source to recipient without passing through centralized core network elements. These transmissions are intercepted at access points distributed throughout the broadband networks and forwarded to lawful intercept node elements for transmission to authorized entities.
