I believe that if you encrypted your links sufficiently that it was impossible to siphon the wanted data from your upstream the response would be for the tapping to move down into your data center before the crypto. With CALEA requirements and the Patriot Act they could easily compel you to give them a span port prior to the crypto. Regardless of how well built our networks are internally and externally we still must obey a court order. ------------------------------------------------------------------ I'm speaking about blocking non-court ordered (in whatever country the circuits cross) sniffing of traffic in the middle by anyone. There is no legal problem there. They do not follow the laws in this country, or in others, and we need to protect ourselves. scott
