p2pnet - rss feed: US firm’s China VoIP spy system
p2p news / p2pnet: A US firm is boasting it’s “penetrated the Chinese telecommunications market” with monitoring and spy technology purpose-designed to block “unauthorized” VoIP calls.
Designed with a “mitigation system” from local Chinese partner and system integration from CommVerge Solutions, Shanghai Telecom system uses NarusInsight’s VoIP Discovery application module, “to detect and analyze incoming VoIP traffic to correctly determine whether that traffic is authorized or not,” says Narus.
“Through the use of the ultra high-performance NarusInsight IP traffic processing system, Shanghai Telecom will be able to detect and mitigate rogue VoIP traffic on their network, enhancing the quality of experience for the users of properly configured and authorized VoIP services,” it states.
If the Net phone traffic traffic “proves to be unauthorized,” NarusInsight tells the mitigation system to block the traffic.
And the Narus spy system can block eBay’s Skype, says the company.
“NarusInsight provides carriers with the only complete view of all the IP traffic on their network, supporting unrivaled early detection of anomalies and threats, while also classifying real-time IP services such as VoIP and Skype for management and quality-of-service applications,” it declares. “NarusInsight is the only packet-processing system that provides both high-speed deep-packet inspection from layer 3 to layer 7, while also correlating traffic across all the links and elements on the entire network.”
