[Freeswitch-dev] CALEA Solution

Sun Jul 29 16:44:31 MSD 2012

CALEA is not a feature. It is a requirement. CALEA is actually simpler
than one might suppose.

CALEA needs to comply with ATIS 1000678. ATIS specifies the message
formats and protocol used to deliver signaling and media to a law
enforcement endpoint. You cannot just send whatever you want to a LEA
and be CALEA compliant.

 To meet requirements, one needs to format SIP messages using the
format specified in ATIS 1000678 and send it off to a Law Enforcement
Endpoint along with the RTP. There are two ways to accomplish this :

- Direct Signal reporting - i.e. encapsulate SIP messages and send off
to LEA and stream RTP messages and send off to LEA (corresponding to
SIP messages). This is by far the simpler solution.

- Mapped Reporting i.e. map SIP to a common format that applies across
all VOIP protocols. This is very complex and quite a pain in the
tookus. I am not even sure if the thing can be made to work.

i.e. one does not need to record sessions or convert into event
management service etc.

Just thought I'd pass along some useful information.
