I believe if you have any equipment in the process at all, you're to be CALEA compliant.

Since the Intercept has to be invisible to the parties being tapped, you can't route their traffic back out and then in either, since the tap would change the flow.

If you are doing PPPOE over another carrier's ATM network, are you really
a "facilities-based" provider? Or is the CALEA compliance the responsibility of the underlying ATM network provider to give LEA access to the ATM VC of the subscriber under surviellance?
