I'm doing my doctoral studies on DPI as it relates to privacy, and neither I nor the network engineers that I have communicated with (who are using DPI appliances) are aware of ANY DPI appliance that is actually capable of doing what the WSJ is claiming is going on. I've written about this, informally, here: http://www.christopher-parsons.com/blog/politics/iran-traffic-analysis-and-deep-packet-inspection/ Cheers, Chris ****************************************** Christopher Parsons Doctoral Student Political Science, University of Victoria http://www.christopher-parsons.com ******************************************* On 21-Jun-09, at 9:41 PM, Lauren Weinstein wrote: > > -- From the "Anything for a buck" department -- > > Western DPI firms helping Iran government spy on Internet traffic > > http://online.wsj.com/article/SB124562668777335653.html > > --Lauren-- > NNSquad Moderator ----- End forwarded message -----
