>The US government is working on a system which will be doing real-time pattern analysis on every OC192 pipe (10Gbps), probably everywhere in the US.
It will be based on muti-FPGA-processing boxes (Stratix4 and higher I assume), probably with in conjunction with dedicated server farms.
>I know this because I am subcontracted to do a small part of the project. This project is supervised by suitcase-holding "GMan" type people, etc.
>I am posting this through proxies; but after the system is deployed (within a year or so), it will _no longer help_.
>They will be able to do real-time packet analysis and match internet traffic to a source in a matter of minutes. The only "safe" places after that may be public wireless hotspots.
>There is nothing I can do except supply these tidbits of information.
>Thanks for reading.
