Practically, what this means is that the government will be asking broadband providers - as well as companies that manufacture devices used for broadband communications – to build insecure backdoors into their networks, imperiling the privacy and security of citizens on the Internet.I'm sorry, but this is simply an unsupportable statement. What is required of routers is that the provider be able to configure the device to make copies of certain packets to a monitoring port. Assuming that the monitoring port is duly managed, how does this qualify as "insecure"?
hopefully sticking some header on that packet to determine input interface/lsp as well. hopefully also not dumping to a physical interface, but to a 'vpn' interface so truckrolls to kalamazoo don't have to happen each time 'elterrorista' moves from internet cafe' to internet cafe' please :) no real 'security' implications in the copy though, sure. (assuming appropriate controls on config changes exist, and controls on the exit point/storage of the copied data.
