Back in November, the Australian Federal Police (AFP) issued a tender for DPI (here) - " for an appliance that can accept a stream of TCP/IP traffic or potentially previously captured packets in PCAP format .. at a minimum, it must be able to analyse flows of information at 10Gbps, regardless of whether it is using IPv4 or IPv6. Further requirements that the AFP needs are the ability to identify services and applications at the application layer". Kelly Ng [pictured] reports to Asia Pacific futuregov that "Australian Federal Police plans to pilot the use of Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) - a type of computer network packet filtering technology - starting next month. If successful, full implementation will take place in April. The force will use it as an internal system tool and it will not be connected to any external telecommunications or IT networks".

The advantage of Data Filtering is to allow you to select specifc records based on a defined criteria. For example, you can filter a database to show only the records that contain a specific string of text, such as a specifc state (for a databse that contains a state field). If you have 1,500 records and only 47 from Melbourne, you can filter the list to display only those records from Melbourne.
ReplyDeleteAs, you are mentioning here that the full implementation will take place in April, then I think it will be a revolutionized step in the use of broadband internet in Australia .
