    Ben - perhaps it is in their minds currently, but education is key.
    Its one of many things that needs to be clarified with the
    department.<br>
    <br>
    Keep in mind this is a first draft at a discussion paper about what
    they want to ask for, not what they will ultimately require to
    receive. They are asking for feedback, and *should* modify
    subsequent papers taking into account feedback. <br>
    Some of these ambit wishlist items may be infeasible to provide -
    and they need to hear that from multiple sources, in calm measured
    tones, backed up by technical details and facts.<br>
    <br>
    A legitimate response from members of the industry (including almost
    everyone on this list) might be 'I understand you want to ask for
    (x), however it is infeasible/unnecessary/contradictory/etc for
    some/most/all ISPs to capture, store and ultimately provide (x) to
    you. Here is why.(insert pages of technical detail).." and request
    that (x) be removed from the list of things they could ask for -
    delete whichever does not apply.<br>
    <br>
    Type of Communication/Type of Service they refer to *might* come
    from logging UDP/TCP/every-other-Layer4-proto port data. However IMO
    this is content data, extracted from deep within the Ethernet (maybe
    PPPoE segment) packet being transmitted between your customer's link
    and a different link. Content data (from inside the packet stream)
    is not metadata, and can't be provided without a warrant.<br>
    How many ISPs capture and log port information (or the equivalent)
    from every Layer 3 protocol in
    <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_IP_protocol_numbers">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_IP_protocol_numbers</a> that your
    customer might push across your links? Would you even notice if your
    customers started pushing significant quantities of SCPS (IP Proto
    105) over their IP link, let alone look into it for port
    information?<br>
    <br>
    For mine, the answer to those particular points might be:<br>
    <br>
    "The best we could provide you with is:<br>
    Type of Communication: Internet packet stream (as compared to
    'private WAN packet stream')<br>
    Type of Service: Internet access service. Possible adding
    "Originated from an ADSL service"  (as compared to a dial-up, NBN,
    or other form of link by which the packets arrived into the
    network).<br>
    "<br>
    Because these are things you might know, independently of the packet
    contents or flow data.<br>
    <br>
    Treat this as an exercise in education, and educate them. This is
    version 1.0 - not something you have to bend over for (yet). If the
    method to implement logging and retaining (x) involves 'I'll have to
    install DPI' then you might perhaps legitimately respond in your
    submissions to this discussion paper "I'm sorry, I regret we will
    not be able to provide that. If you are looking for me to
    distinguish VoIP from Telnet from web sessions, with an interception
    warrant I can send you the packets and you can determine
    application-level aspects such as type of communication or type of
    service for yourself".<br>

                      <br>
                      <br>
                      So the consultation paper has leaked [1], and it
                      says data retention will apply to "all entities
                      that provide communications services available in
                      Australia" and while it won't require destination
                      IP addresses or URLs, it will require NAT records
                      to be kept.
                      <br>
                      <br>
                      Just which entities provide communication services
                      isn't defined, but at a guess it could include
                      hosting providers and univerisities.
