That's a cool way to implement monitoring of traffic towards random parts of the internet.

There are much easier, cheaper ways to do that.

Easier and cheaper? Can't think of any... This method nicely gets around the need to tap and process numerous (10) gigabit links, which isn't particularly easy and certainly not all that cheap.


Interestingly, nobody has mentioned on the list what the offending content is yet. Or why this would even remotely be a good idea. I would think that if the content in question is legal, ISPs and the government shouldn't touch it, and if it isn't, law enforcement should do something about it.
