The way I understand it, is that Mark has to do the capture. His provider can not do it for him. Also per a previous conversation the tap needs to be done at the CPE. To me that should be real simple with a few firewall rules in the CPE or at worst the AP. If PPPoE were in use then it would be fairly simple to be sure of getting the clients traffic. Part of Marks (and others) objections is that that we have to pay to be compliant. That IMO is BS. I have no problem with providing any LEA with a port that has the stream they are asking for but they should be paying for the sniffer. That would be the best thing, since the LEA can then handle the chain of evidence securely. Is it possible to have WISPA request that and keep on it?

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. - Peter -- WISPA Wireless List: wireless@wispa.org Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless Archives: http://lists.wispa.org/pipermail/wireless/
