The NANOG meeting archives are full of presentations as the result of very sophisticated network monitoring. Like most technology, it can be used for good and evil. You can't tell the motivation just from the technology.
OK, so he says in a roundabout way that you are already paying for some sophisticated network monitoring and it probably won't cost you much to just give some data to the "authorities".
Sean, please drop this subject. You have no experience here and it's annoying that you keep making authoritative claims like you have some operational experience in this area. If you do, please do elaborate and correct me. From what I understand from the folks at SBC, you did not run harassing call, annoyance call, and LAES services. I would appreciate a correction.
Huh!?!?!? Are you saying that people should buzz off from the NANOG list if they change jobs and their latest position isn't operational enough? Are you saying that people should not be on the NANOG list unless they have TELEPHONY operational experience? What is the world coming to!? --Michael Dillon
