While I'm sure the statement "this is not universally possible" is
technically correct (the best kind of correct!) I believe you're
seriously over-estimating the difficulty. I'd wager most of us already
have, somewhere in our network, a decent managed switch that can be
configured to spit out the requested data. Feed said data into a cheap
PC with a big hard drive (another thing that most of us already have),
filter out the specific bits the government wants, spit it out. If this
takes more than a couple hours to set up, there's something seriously
weird going on with your network.
Oh, and I do not. I have NO PLACE within my network where traffic can be
tapped. None. Zilch. Not cpe, not ap's, not my gateway at my provider's.
You'd actually have to go upstream, to my providers server room to do that.
That is as close as I can get.
I would call Bull here. At the point where you connect to your upstream is what
can be referred to as the Edge device in your network. If that Edge device was
a FreeBSD ROuter or an ImageStream or a Cisco 7200, then you are probably in
compliance, as all 3 devices can provide the Feds with the tap they want.
