IP Fabrics Buffering
Port 9536 is primarily used by IP Fabrics for their lawful intercept and surveillance systems, specifically the buffering function that temporarily stores network data before processing or forwarding. This port supports both TCP and UDP communications and facilitates efficient data capture and analysis for lawful electronic surveillance compliance..
Port 9536 is officially assigned for the IP Fabrics lawful intercept buffering function, designated as 'laes-bf'. This system is designed to facilitate lawful electronic surveillance (LAES) by capturing data streams from monitored targets in real time. The buffering function is essential to temporarily hold intercepted network data packets, ensuring data integrity and order before transmission to analysis systems.
Communications over this port can operate via both TCP and UDP transport protocols, depending on the specific network architecture and performance requirements of the deployment. TCP ensures reliable delivery, which is critical during initial collection, while UDP can be used for lower-latency transfers or to handle high-throughput streaming data that tolerates some loss.
The buffering function is closely tied to various components within the lawful intercept architecture, such as collection gateways, mediation devices, and analysis engines. It plays a vital role by smoothing out network jitter, handling burst traffic, and ensuring compliance with lawful intercept regulations across jurisdictions. Implementations may include proprietary protocols operating on this port, often customized per vendor deployment.
