Deep Packet Inspection
Ralf Bendrath berichtet über ein interessantes Forschungsprojekt an der TU Delft über Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) an dem er auch beteiligt ist.
Technological advances in routers and network monitoring equipment now allow Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to monitor the content of TCP/IP packets in real-time and make decisions accordingly about how to handle them. If rolled out widely, this technology known as deep packet inspection (DPI) would turn the internet into something completely new. Lawrence Lessig almost ten years ago reminded us that its design is not a natural given, but the outcome of political and technological decisions and trends. DPI therefore has the potential to affect the fundamental properties of the internet as a global public infrastructure and therefore also to alter the capacity of global internet governance.
Klingt nach einem spannenden Thema - ich werde erstmal den Wiki Eintrag zu DPI lesen.
