In addition to starting work on an ATM OC12c device and having an OC3c device, we are also discussing a fast Ethernet device as well... Is that interesting? jim Mike Trest wrote:

Have you forgotten that we log and keep track of source/destination pairs.

I sincerely wish you good luck doing that at OC-12. If you know a magic technology which can do that please let me know. Doing that at 10 kpps is not going to be a solution any time soon.

Vadim, Jim Hughes just gave me a good presentation on a box offered by NSC which does IP address and port level packet filtering on multiple OC-3c ATM interfaces simultaneously at full circuit speed. I think he said an OC-12c version will be in production soon. Perhaps we could ask Jim to add some firmware to grab the SA/DA pairs and dump them to a log processor in the same box.

Unfortunately, this would not help unless the path went through an ATM segment somewhere on the network.
