The CAIDA project at www.caida.org is deploying machines at various
concentration points for net traffic and has dealt with a lot of issues
relating to snagging a bunch of traffic off the wire and analyzing it.  Evi
Nemeth gave a great presentation on it at a Boulder LUG meeting last year.
I've invited her to give another talk later this year or early next...  No
