About This Guide


This guide describes the implementation of the lawful intercept feature on a Cisco 10000 series router.

Lawful Intercept is a process that enables a Law Enforcement Agency (LEA) to perform electronic surveillance on an individual as authorized by a court order. To assist in the surveillance, the service provider intercepts the target's traffic as it passes through one of their routers, and sends a copy of the intercepted traffic to the LEA without the target's knowledge.
