Sensors
System supports mirroring of signaling and media traffic. This functionality can be used for Lawful Interception. Currently three encapsulation modes supported:
- IP-IP tunnel
- Original packets will be encapsulated into additional IP-IP tunnel header. This mode allows to route mirrored traffic, it's especially useful when destination equipment not available in the same broadcast domain.
- IP over Ethernet
- In this mode original packets will be encapsulated directly into Ethernet frame using raw sockets. Intended to use for cases when destination equipment is in the same L2 domain.
- HEPv3
- Homer Encapsulation Protocol or HEP is a protocol used to send data from a tracing node to a capturing node. The latest version of HEP is version 3 which came with a major improvement changing HEP protocol from a header based encapsulation protocol, that is each field had it's well known position in the header as it is for the TCP header for example, to a more flexible chunk-based protocol.
Sensor and logging level can be chosen in gateway settings. Sensor configuration is separate for A and B leg, thus for both legs mirroring - sensors must be configured for both termination and origination gateway.
