Abstract

Monitoring of data packets transmitted across a computer network to extract a computer network-based telephone session in response to a request in which at least the following occur. Data packets transmitted on the computer network are analyzed to select one or more data packets that contain audio data, video data, or audio and video data (“data”). Packets associated with one or more IP addresses representing sessions to be monitored are identified. The data contained in the identified data packets are stored. The data contained in the identified data packets are organized into a specific telephone session based at least in part on a computer network-based telephone session to which the data packets belong. The data that is included in the organized data packets is output upon receipt of a signal representing the request of a user for the specific telephone session.
