how should this apply to tor? The application doesn't generate any session data. Right? Thus there are no "original data" I could alter before storing. Supposed you are right and to store data would imply the obligation to collect those data before. This means every router in the German part of the Internet would have to run some kind of data collection like Cisco's Netflow. Furthermore beneath IP layer 3 lies an entire universe of layer 1 and 2 CWDM, DWDM, and SDH network stuff which is completely transparent to the Internet user. Since this new law applies to telecommunication in general and not only to Internet in specific, one would have to collect data from those systems, too. How exactly to you collect and store data from a 80-color DWDM system transmitting 10 GBit/s on each color? regards, Olaf DWDM dense wavelength division multiplexing CWDM coarse wavelength division multiplexing
