Abstract:

Methods, systems, and computer-readable media provide for lawfully intercepting broadband data traffic. According to one method, a request to retrieve a network address associated with a login identifier is received. An Authentication, Authorization and Accounting (AAA) server is queried based on the login identifier to retrieve the network address associated with the login identifier. Relevant data traffic and AAA information associated with the relevant data traffic is filtered at a network element. The relevant data traffic and the AAA information is forwarded to a law enforcement agency (LEA) system.
