Abstract

Method for detecting data traffic in a communication network, wherein in order to detect data traffic in a communication network, at least one network infrastructure device to which at least one first communication terminal and one second communication terminal are connected provides a monitoring interface that is secured against unauthorized access, is assigned to the two communication terminals, and is intended for detecting data traffic between at least the first and the second communication device, where a device detecting apparatus determines available monitoring interfaces on network infrastructure devices as well as address information assigned to the monitoring interfaces and provides this interface information to at least one recording apparatus that is separate from the at least one network infrastructure device.
