LOBSTER Looks for Organisations to Collaborate on Passive Network 
Traffic Monitoring

The LOBSTER IST project 
(<http://www.ist-lobster.org>http://www.ist-lobster.org) is 
establishing a network of passive Internet monitoring sensors around 
the world. The project was recently positively evaluated by the 
European Commission through a panel of independent experts in the 
field. Having deployed more than 20 live passive monitoring sensors 
throughout Europe 
(<http://lobster.ics.forth.gr/%7Eappmon/>http://lobster.ics.forth.gr/~appmon/), 
LOBSTER would like to spread the benefits of passive network traffic 
monitoring to more organisations, such as National Research and 
Education Networks, Internet Service Providers and independent 
organisations interested in monitoring their networks.

The project is therefore looking for organisations willing to host a 
passive monitoring sensor. The LOBSTER software runs on standard PC 
hardware with a variety of network adapters (which can be regular 
NICs as well as specialised DAG cards), and can be quickly installed 
using the bootable CD available at:
