Abstract: Apparatus for recording multi-party Internet Protocol (IP) sessions at a branch, the apparatus comprising: a data capturer, deployed on a device in a local network of the branch, configured to capture at least one data packet of a multi-party IP session involving the branch; and a recorder, deployed on the device, associated with the data capturer, and configured to receive at least one of the captured data packets from the data capturer and to record the received data packets.

Abstract: An apparatus for Voice over IP capturing in a network, comprising: a data receiver, tapping the network and configured to receive at least one data packet transmitted in the network, a VoIP identifier, associated with the data receiver, configured to determine if the received data packet is a VoIP data packet qualifying for forwarding to a capture device, and a forwarder, associated with the VoIP identifier, configured to forward a copy of the qualifying VoIP data packet to at least one capture device, and to forward the received data packets back to the network.

Abstract: A system for forwarding packed-based media in a network, the system comprising: a) at least one forwarder, configured to extract at least one packet of media from at least one media source accessible to the forwarder, and to forward the extracted packet of media to at least one capture device, and b) a forwarding manager, communicating with the forwarder, using a predefined protocol, the communicating comprising receiving media accessibility information relating to the forwarder and the at least one media source accessible to the forwarder and receiving a request identifying a media source, and configured to list at least one of the forwarders, wherein the listed forwarders are usable for forwarding the at least one packet of media from the identified media source according to the media accessibility information.

Abstract: Device and method for receiving information from one or more media providers capable of transmitting a media session and from one or more media recorders capable of recording the media session and selecting one of the recorders for recording the media session based on the received information and a predetermined set of rules.
