HT04 - Lawful Interception

Description

Many regulatory authorities require operators to provide Lawful Interception capabilities. This Hot Topic aims to drive:

• Understanding the impact of virtualisation on the regulatory requirements of Lawful Interception
• Exploration of architectures and designs to allow Lawful Interception capabilities to be provided in NFV deployments
• Proofs of Concept(s) to show Lawful Interception capabilities in conjunction with NFV

HT#4 (SEC) Lawful Interception

Status

ACTIVE

What is expected to be learnt from the NFV PoCs

Points to prove/refute
