The point is people are only inconveniencing themselves in accepting such knee jerk responses in the name of fighting terrorists. The terrorists don't care, self imposed constant fear is just doing their job for them. You may as well go hide in a cave just in case, the rest of us would prefer to not have our personal freedom infringed brandon

Advanced port mirroring with filtering
by Nathan Allen Stratton 12 Jul '05

12 Jul '05

I wanted to ping the list and get some feedback on switches with advanced port mirroring with filtering. Right now we are using Cisco 6509s with SUP 720s in a VoIP application. The routers and switches work well, but we keep hitting the wall on port monitoring because cisco only lets us have two monitoring ports. Lets say I have a 32 port switch with all sorts of SIP hardware on it. I am looking for a switch that would let me do someting like this: Mirror all POP ISP traffic to NetVMG box Mirror all SIP and RTP traffic to VoIP Hammer probe Mirror all SIP (5060 65060) traffic to signaling to Ethereal box Mirror all RTCP traffic to VoIP quality engine ><> Nathan Stratton BroadVoice, Inc. nathan at robotics.net Talk IS Cheap http://www.robotics.net http://www.broadvoice.com

Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone in London. with regard to telecommunications services, Tim Richardson writes in The Register: [snip] Phone networks have been jammed today following a series of blasts that hit London's public transport network this morning. Mobile networks in particular have been put under pressure as people use their phones to contact friends and family following the explosions. In a statement Vodafone said: "Understandably we are experiencing significant network congestion but we are working closely with the emergency services. "In these circumstances, we would ask all of our customers in Central London to avoid making unnecessary or lengthy phone calls. BT has also reported that its network is intact although it is witnessing a massive spike in calls. [snip] http://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/07/07/london_phone/ - ferg -- "Neil J. McRae" <neil(a)DOMINO.ORG> wrote: Mobile networks have been switched in to emergency services only owing to congestion and concern that devices may be activated by mobile.
