Abstract
A system, method, and computer program product are provided for reporting a communication flow to a lawful intercept framework. In one embodiment, a plurality of actions associated with at least one communication is monitored for lawful intercept purposes. Additionally, the actions are correlated into a communication flow independent of an address associated with the actions. Furthermore, the communication flow is reported to a lawful intercept framework. In another embodiment, an action associated with a communication flow is identified for lawful intercept purposes. In addition, an action is reported to a lawful intercept framework utilizing a first semantic, and a description of the action is reported to the lawful intercept framework utilizing a second semantic, where the first semantic is different from the second semantic and where in response to a determination that the description is unknown at a time that the action occurs, the reporting of the action for the purposes of lawful intercept is distinct from the reporting of the description of the action for preventing delay in reporting the action as a result of waiting for acquisition of the description of the action.
