A method and apparatus are provided for extracting and reporting
communication associated information of communications between a subject
and an associate. This is achieved by populating an application
identifier in the Network Layer 3, which the access networks examine in
order to route the packets appropriately, and, thereby, allowing the
access networks to isolate and extract the communication associated
information. The access networks extract the call associated information
and report the same to the Law Enforcement Agencies. Delivery to the LEAs
of communication associated information may also be optimized.
