Course Description

Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) is a type of network packet filtering. Deep packet inspection evaluates the data part and the header of a packet that is transmitted through an inspection point, weeding out any non-compliance to protocol, spam, viruses, intrusions, and any other defined criteria to block the packet from passing through the inspection point. DPI can examine the contents of a message and identify the specific application or service that sent it. In addition, filters can be programmed to look for and reroute network traffic from a specific Internet Protocol address range or a certain online service. 

Course Objectives

  • Understand the concept of legal monitoring in telecommunication systems
