Method for carrying out monitoring in packet-oriented telecommunication and data networks

摘要

The invention relates to a method for carrying out monitoring in packet-oriented telecommunication networks and data networks. The method makes it possible to reduce the processor performance required to carry out legal monitoring of telecommunication subscribers in switching nodes of packet-oriented telecommunication and data networks. To reduce the high number of comparably short data packets which must be respectively compared with the full list of subscriber connections which are to be monitored throughout the network and the computer power resulting therefrom required to carry out the tasks in each network node, the method is based on a reduced individual node list which is automatically generated and maintained and the number of individual verifications is kept to a minimum within a network node.
