Approaches like http://www.wired.com/science/discoveries/news/2006/04/70619 obviously don't scale to small time operators. But if you can vaccuum up close to the core at full wire speed (and there is no reason to think you can't, since there are switches which deal with that) you don't have to deal with periphery that much. How would you tap a few TBit/s so that you can filter it down to where you can look it at layer 7 in ASICs, and filter out something to a more manageable data rate? Would you use a dedicated fibre to forward that to a central facility, or do it with storage that is periodically picked up via sneakernet?
