Again, my imperfect memories of CALEA from 10 years ago when the
telecom-list people were fighting over it are that this wouldn't be
good enough -- CALEA requires that that the tap be invisible -- you're
not going to reinvite *everything*, are you?
If the calls are hitting your media gateway, then it is transparent if you pull the audio stream right off of the gateway. It gets problematic if it's end-to-end SIP and you don't want to reinvite everything. You're going to have to sit in the middle of the audio stream somewhere, and if you don't normally do that for all-SIP calls, then it's definately going to raise flags when monitoring is done on an all-SIP conversation.
