Internet Crackdown in Eqypt? Thank the know-how from the good people at Boeing!

That is, thank the Boeing-owned Narus that is.

Okay, to be fair, they are not the only one who uses Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) technology -

In addition to Narus, there are a number of companies, including many others in the United States, that produce and traffic in similar spying and control technology. This list of DPI providers includes Zeugma Systems (Canada), Camiant (USA), Procera Networks (USA), Allot (Israel), Ixia (USA), AdvancedIO (Canada) and Sandvine (Canada), among others.

These companies typically partner with Internet Service Providers to insert DPI along the main arteries of the Web. All Net traffic in and out of Iran, for example, travels through one portal -- the Telecommunications Company of Iran -- which facilitates the use of DPI.
When commercial network operators use DPI, the privacy of Internet users is compromised. But in government hands, the use of DPI can crush dissent and lead to human rights violations.

I wonder if such technology hasn't already been used to hunt down the Wikileaks folks?
