at the DSL (WAN) side: No. Only with special (expensive) hardware. at the ethernet (LAN) side: Yes. Please read the following wiki article: Basically you need a way to capture the whole traffic at the ethernet level. The easiest way is to use an ethernet hub (hard to get one these days) or a small switch with port mirroring capabilities (very cheap these days). See the answers to the following question: or the Wiki Regards answered 08 Aug '13, 07:42 Kurt Knochner ♦ |
Would you really need to see the dsl or atm layer? That's what the error stats are for. FEC/HEC/CRC's etc.. I work for a UK ISP and need to capture/record all incoming/outgoing web traffic (due to weird issue) and suspect the best solution would be a packet sniffer on a PC. Auth on PC via router in 'modem only' mode. Critical to ensure the only MAC presented on the WAN is that of your ethernet NIC - then sniff away! :) answered 02 Jul '14, 16:11 jsporsche |
