ABSTRACT:
A method is disclosed for remotely monitoring network traffic through a generic network. A first data packet, which indicates a first destination network element, is received. A second data packet, which contains at least a part of the first data packet, is generated. The second data packet indicates a second destination network element that is configured to monitor network traffic. The second destination network element differs from the first destination network element.
