This kind of monitoring is probably a direct violation of 18 USC 2511, as is a public announcement of the monitoring results. Indeed, at present, I'd say it appears to be the best example of an unauthorized 3rd party violation I've seen so far. (most [all previous] people don't admit details, but we know some do it). Unless of course you have authorization from norcal or all the recipients of those 2 million packets to monitor. Since norcal isn't your customer, I don't suppose you have any paper showing they gave you permission to collect and publish information about their traffic.
What type of monitoring are you talking about? Or are you saying I cannot filter packets through my network as I please?
